You're a hypocrite. And you support rights for sticking your penis in a guy's rectum. So even should I be a hypocrite, I still have more fundamental integrity than you. The fact is, there is not a shred of hypocrisy in my position here. I think homosexuality is inhuman and thus naturally immoral. I therefore supported Texas' view of the matter. But my concern about the SCOTUS decision was not particularly over homosexuality. Vermont, for example, has chosen not only to declare sodomy legal, but to also legitimize it officially in Vermont law. Yet I have not once here railed against Vermont for doing so. The reason for this is that I do not have to live in Vermont and I do not have to support Sodomites in Vermont. Indeed, I can completely continue my life without any discomfort resulting from Sodomites in Vermont. My view is, if Vermonters wish to destroy themselves, then let them. I just do not care. I think precisely the same way with regard to any state that pointedly chooses to approve homosexuality. My concern regarding the SCOTUS/Texas decision was that the decision would Federalize the false notion that homosexuality was socially acceptable, by default claiming that it is organically attached to American society. Like Scalia, I saw that if homosexuality received that sort of approval, there would be no grounds for denying a federal approval of homosexual marriage. Homosexuals denied that this was the case, but I knew they were wrong because you cannot rationally legislate against something that is legal. So there is no hypocrisy, just sound thinking - something you seem completely unable to do. a system where these two statements don't make you a hypocrite but i don't subscribe to your homemade theory. of course you don't. You can't, so hopeless and blinded you have become by flawed homosexual "thought". But my view is most consistent, despite your lunacy.
