Brian: who appointed you the keeper of the public morals? You seem to

private has no bearing on their works. This smacks of the McCarthy
era.

I'd like to see someone show me an example of sexual immorality that
does not impose directly upon the personal freedom of persons who are
involved directly; and, in addition, does not impose upon truth (the
conguence of statements with (relativistic) events (conceived of as point
sets as opposed to singular points)).

I claim that a true set of consistent and all-inclusive (but not
independent) morals consists of (i) respect for the freedom of oneself
and others, (ii) respect for truth, and (iii) respect for the environment
including animals and plants. What consenting humans and animals do
sexually has nothing to do with morals.

If an act be considered immoral but be not bad according to the dictates
of reason, aesthetics, and utility, to deem it immoral imputes evil unto
morality.
