    Not (just) “idiot”, but evil. The “advantage,” besides populist wank, is creating a new law that is enforced extremely selectively when you want to prosecute people for other, unconstitutional reasons. E.g. “We didn’t infringe on their free speech, they were imprisoned for engaging in gay sex.”

      The thing is, they’ve done this before, several states still have “sodomy laws” to this day. It’s fucking stupid.
