So I'm not going to be "harassed" by it. (Nor, as the "derpatrol" claims, will it lead to bestiality, necrophilia, or alien anal probes....)
Well, that bolded one kind of depends on what kind of sex games you and your partner(s) play...
Was the the gay marriage ban upheld in LA, recently?

And what about the whole wearing clothes mixing of fabrics? I don't believe that was ever cleared up/excused scripturally. Abrahamic-based faiths fail to actually understand what the Levitical laws were for. It's sad.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
— Victoria Woodhull, “And the truth shall make you free,” a speech on the principles of social freedom, 1871
