I can't see how anyone could read that and think this was about targeting homosexuals.Yeah not at all about homosexual sex:The Cooch ain't my favorite guy, but we should be fair to his position. Nobody is arguing that the statute is constitutional as applied to sodomy between two consenting adults. What the Commonwealth is arguing is that the statute is not unconstitutional on its face, because it can applied in some instances, such as the instant case (where a 46 year old man propositioned a 17 year old girl for a favor).
I think he's clearly wrong, but it really has nothing to do with targetting homosexuals or extending into what married couples can do. Henry posted the decision. It's not long. I recommend people read it.
>In 2009, he told a newspaper that he supported restrictions on the sexual behavior of consenting adults: “My view is that homosexual acts, not homosexuality, but homosexual acts are wrong. They’re intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that. … They don’t comport with natural law.” As a result, the law’s text remains unchanged a decade after the Supreme Court’s r
uling.
I thought this was thread about MacDonald v. Moose, not about comments that Cuccinelli made in 2009.
And I was responding to this obvious inaccuracy:
