i believe it's important for the government to come around on this because, as many of us forget, homosexuality is not just frowned upon in many places, but outright outlawed. there are people sitting in jail simply for being gay. i remember a case in texas about ten years ago that made its way all the way to the supreme court where some guys in dallas got their home invaded just as they were engaged in sex, and thrown into prison for it. they are not alone in this i assure you. i don't know this for sure but they probably had their house tapped so as to catch them just at the right moment.
