    ‘Legally’ isn’t the best choice of words here, IMO. I’m not saying we should be allowed to fuck minors (ew) but that the legal system has been used to opress and punish queer people. In some jurisdictions, it is legal to kill gay people. So using legality as your baseline is a bad idea.

    Morality is I think what you’re getting at. But then you get into the weeds of subjective morality and that’s a mess…

      Yeah that’s totally fair. I only added it as an after thought because I feel like not adding something like that would have been worse. Maybe just “consenting adults” instead of “legally.”
