The article below appears to be advocating the
criminalization of consexual sex and homosexuality
based solely on the personal religious beliefs of its
author. However, it does not give us a complete sense
of the nature of this parochial mentality. For this it
would be nice to know what kind of punishments are
being recommended for these "crimes", and what kind of
surveillance system would police people's private
behavior and sexuality.
Cheers,
Santosh
