The whole idea of freedom and free will is that we are free to choose what paths we take in life. Forcing people to act by the standards of behavior that a particular group wants others to have is obviously not freedom. As long as people do no harm physically or mentally to others and are of an age deemed to be adult, then what they do privately is their own concern. To those with religious convictions I say that I too have my beliefs and we will find out if we are right after we die. That will be the truest test of faith, it's between us and God and no other person.
