Your argument thus far that to change one law we somehow have to change all laws doesn't seem to hold.
...LOL! Trying to turn things around or misdirect things and make it confusing for everyone, huh? ..LOL!
No, my dear Mystech, but if gays and lesbians can change the laws on marriage, why shouldn't the teens (under 18) be allowed to change the laws that affect them, too? ...all without any opposition from any other interest groups?
And, hey, maybe we can have drunks change the laws on drinking and driving, too?! ...and without opposition from other groups!? ...LOL!
Hey, we could also have the drug laws changed by the druggies, too. ...without any opposition from other groups!
Ooh, and the porno laws changed by the porno industry. ...without any opposition from other groups!
Oh, and how 'bout changing the laws on prostitution ...we'll let the prostitutes change those laws, too. ...without any opposition from other groups.
Hey, I got another one ...how 'bout we let politicians and corporate executives change the laws on corruption? Ooooh, and without any opposition from other groups.

Laws in which there are no victims, and which serve no purpose other than to serve as an extension of certain people's hatred and fear just have to go.
Yeah, ya' mean like the underage laws? No victims if it's all consent, right? I.e., it's all because of a FEAR that something bad might happen to the little tykes, right?
And drunk driving, too. Ain't no victims UNTIL there's an accident ...i.e., a law ONLY because people FEAR that something MIGHT happen.
I'm sure that there are millions of such "no victim" laws, but we still have them because "The People" want to keep them.
Many, many laws in this nation (and others!) are enacted ONLY out of fear of
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN ....ain't no victim UNTIL something happens. So how can we have those laws??? Are they because of people's "hatred and fear"?
If gays should be allowed to change gay laws, then drunks and teens should be allowed to change laws that affect them.

But then I suppose the idea of sound logic is a bit difficult for you to grasp, isn’t it?
Well, yes, that's true. But we ain't talking about MY "sound logic", are we? I mean, if so .....you win!
