Comment on a Colleague's Work #1

In response to Behind Closed Doors... by my fellow colleague George Aguillon, I do not have any criticism for his editorial, but rather an agreeing commentary. I feel as though the ideas he put forth and the reasons he gave for why the Texas Republican Platform is a little too pushy in their staunch beliefs about gay marriage and sodomy are absolutely dead right. From the events stemming in 1998 where the gay couple was arrested and brought to court for having participated in "deviant sexual intercourse with an individual of the same sex" under the Texas Penal Code, to now in 2010 with the GOP wanting to label the acts of sodomy as illegal with the people convicted having to pay fines and serve a due sentence. I think that both of these instances of civil right violation are wrong and unbased. What one couple, gay or straight, decides to do from in between the fore walls of their own home is no body's business but their own. What right do we have to intermingle in their personal lives on such an intimate level?
