  > The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness. https://stallman.org/archives/2003-mar-jun.html https://stallman.org/archives/2003-mar-jun.html he's saying that it should be legal at the very least.

    Well, there is big difference between 'saying it should be legal' and endorsing. For example, i think that drinking alcohol and smoking pot should be legal, but also think it is stupid thing to do and definitely would not endorse that.
