By encouraging people to barge into other people’s private, consensual sex lives and make reports to the authorities. Never forget that the Stonewall riot was started by one such raid where police stormed a gay bar looking to arrest as many “sodomy” and “public indecency” suspects as possible. In some cases people would literally peep through windows, listen at the door, even wait across the street for your guest to come over and then call the police to kick the door down and catch the two of you in the act. You hung out to much with a specific friend. You clicked a web page or picked up a magazine that had a different suspected deviant on it and the shop owner or internet service provider automatically reported you. You bought a sex toy and the vendor automatically reported you. Someone started a rumor that they saw you kissing. You held hands with someone of the same sex.
People would report you to the police for any hint of it. This is what happened last time that was the reasoning for law, and what is being threatened to happen again. This is the precident you are helping further by digging your heels in and saying ‘but I think it’s gross and makes them bad people’. You don’t have to like their business but as long as everyone involved in the encounter is saying yes, it’s also really not your business. Anyway with anti-sodomy laws back on the discussion table I’m going to repeat that you can personally be squicked out by the consensual sex someone else has, but saying that their consensual sex between willing, active, adult participants should be illegal and is indicative of some sort of moral failing is L I T E R A L L Y a major facet in extreme homophobia and absolutely has gotten people killed.
