life, liberty, (and, in the declaration of independence, the pursuit of happiness) surely include being who you are, expressing who you are, and loving who you love.
beyond that, the entire concept of "freedom" is nothing but a cruel joke if you're someone can't life their life as the gender they feel they are or if adults can't have relationships with other consenting adults of their own choosing.
beyond that, why does anyone even care? how is anyone's sex life the government's business? where is the public interest in regulating that?
but, but, but... the bible. yeah. ok, the old testament alone has 613 commandments. many of them are perfectly legal, including, say, adultery, which is one of the big 10. where's the mad mob clamoring to make adultery illegal? or cheeseburgers? or bacon? or clothing made of more than one type of thread?
why is it that the religious lgbtqia-haters seem so single-minded about sex/gender issues above all others? oh, and the sin thing. these people believe we're all sinners and their religion is all about forgiveness but this is the one sin they can't forgive or even allow to be a personal conversation between people their god?
these same people will go into prisons and forgive murderers who have committed sins and crimes, but they can't even forgive the non-sin non-crime of being lgbtqia.
there's no logic to it. it's just hateful authoritarians who perceive a personal advantage to damaging the lives of a minority they feel belongs below them in the hierarchical society they prefer.
