My moral code says, (to a first approximation), that what you do is okay by default, and only if it effects me, or society in general in an adverse manner, do I have the right to demand justification. Since I see no way in which gay liberation is having a negative effect on society (given no a priori bias against gay lifestyles), I cannot see why its anyones business to demand a justification. BTW: AIDS is not a negative effect of gay liberation, it is a negative effect of promiscuity, as is any venereal disease (I'm sure syphilis and ghonnorea (sp?) have killed many more thru the ages).
