I thought liberals had compassion. Why would anyone defend prostitution, legal or illegal?
"LIBERALS" - - - the catch all bucket for everything conservatives don't agree with.
Conservatives are the single thought group - - stuck in a controlled idealistic world.
Liberals are the "color outside the lines - independent - progressive thinkers". You can not lump them into "group think" - - any more then you
can lump gays into "group think". They are as varied as all the colors in the spectrum.
How did we get off onto Prostitution and Liberals?
There is no single reason Prostitution can not be an Honorable and Legal business. Interesting that again MEN and Religious groups want to interfere
with a Woman's Right To Choose.

Gay Marriage Loss in Maine Is a Straight Loser - Michael B. Laskoff - 11-4-09
A year ago, it was Prop 8 that sullied my joy at the official end of the Bush era. One year later, this once proud son of the State of Maine is
appalled. 52.7% of the voting electorate there voted yes to the question, "Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and
allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?" In this denial of rights, some will see a brave defense of traditional
values. I see the hideous specter of legally sanctioned discrimination.
Being gay is like being black, white or Latino. It's genetic, not a matter of choice; and it's recurrent in the population -- generation after
generation, throughout human history. (If you don't believe me, read the Iliad.) There's also pretty good scientific evidence -- empirical, not
moral -- to prove that being gay is one of the normal expressions of human sexuality, along with heterosexuality. The latter is more prevalent, but
both are normal. To deny normal, law-abiding people their civil rights is no better than racism. It's that simple.
