How would you respond to this? Exactly, there is no reason for government to regulate homosexuality, either to approve or disapprove, it is simply not government's business. Ditto with abortion. There could be a point when guns cause disorder or chaos in society, so possibly they would come under government review.
Voters and legislators don't need to forget their religious views, they just need to remember that everyone doesn't share them and it is not government's business to make everyone share them. | Doesn't that apply to the views of every special interest group?
Why single out religious groups? |
