- If both adults agree to the act of sodomy, then they are consenting.

- The Colorado law prevents Colorado voters from passing a particular kind
- of law. That sounds like coercion. If they don't want the law, then why
- don't they just not vote for it?
-
- The Colorado law also prohibits laws that prevent discrimination against
- homosexuals, but it does not prohibit laws that prevent discrimination
- against heterosexuals. Weren't you just complaining about asymmetrical
- legislation in the hate crimes legislation discussion?
