I'm talking about laws proscribing "immoral" behavior between consenting adults. Murder is certainly not between consenting adults. Neither is rape.

I don't believe this is a difficult concept to distinguish these behaviors.

Outlawing normal human behavior has never worked in the past, and it's unlikely to start working now.

That’s what you actually said, and what I responded to. The normalcy of a behavior isn’t an argument in its favor, goalpost movement aside.

Be careful about taking excessively literal meanings. It would be ridiculous to say murder should be legalized, and you should interpret what you read in the context of a reasonable interpretation. That is, if you're interested in something other than simply arguing with people.
