The law shouldn't care (if you are a law abiding citizen) about who you take into the bedroom as long as they are consenting adults. How many guns you own. What you eat for supper. What kind of TV shows you watch. Whether you watch porn or not.

The law doesn't care about what you do behind closed doors as long as it is within the bounds of what the law allows.

Your speech is free. But if it causes malicious harm to someone, you can be sued.

Society sets laws announcing those actions that it deems unacceptable in polite society. If evidence appears that causes a reasonable person to suspect that illegal activity is going on, society should investigate. Of course society might find itself having to jump through hoops by adhering to constitutional law. It cannot just invade your personal space and demand to know what you're up to just because they don't like you.

You can stand on a public sidewalk and take pictures of my house. You can't walk into my house uninvited and start taking pictures.

But what if you're raping little girls behind closed doors? Killing gay men? Watching child porn?

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?
