Most Americans, in their heart, are liberal and progressive. It's just a small minority of people who hate, they hate, they exist in the politics of hate, they don't believe two consenting adults should have the right to be in love and share their lives together and be legally protected by the state.

Michael Moore

Whether people choose to have same sex relationships or relationships outside the marriage - whatever happens between two consenting adults should be purely their business, not the state's or the society's.

Kabir Bedi

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults, except in abnormal circumstances, such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.

Tom G. Palmer

While the Western society gives total freedom to the individuals to do whatever "consenting adults" please, which admittedly is better than having the government poke into your private life and your bedroom, like in Islamic countries, there are no moral compasses to tell what is right from wrong. The very notion of right and wrong has come under question. The motto is "if it feels good do it". Hedonism rules!

Ali Sina

Libertarians recognize the difference between adults and children, as well as differences between normal adults and adults who are insane or mentally hindered or retarded.

Tom G. Palmer

If sexual relations between consenting adults are not part of the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution, then American democracy is in trouble.

Coretta Scott King

The Libertarians, of whom I'm rather fond, are running Harry Browne. Libertarians are, just as they claim, principled and consistent - they believe in individual liberty. Commendable as they are, and despite their reliability as allies in civil liberties struggles, you may notice that Libertarians sometimes prove that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, and that there is a difference between logic and wisdom.

Molly Ivins

What consenting adults do behind closed doors is not my business.

Shelley Berkley

While we are each free to believe whatever we choose, we cannot do whatever we choose.

Hillary Clinton

I'm all for bringing back the birch, but only between consenting adults.

Gore Vidal

In America, as was the topic earlier about polygamy, consenting adults are supposed to do - be able to do whatever they want to each other... whether it's marrying multiple partners, marrying someone of the same sex, prostitution, marijuana. As long as you're not hurting anyone else, it's really none of the government's business.

Max Kellerman

I think the State shouldn't poke its nose into the sexual relations of consenting adults.

Rocco Buttiglione

The socialist society would have to forbid capitalist acts between consenting adults.

Robert Nozick

When the people clamor to be shielded from reality, when they praise their government for keeping things from them, when they choose to conduct their lives within the limits of whatever fantasy the government supplies, then they are no longer consenting to be governed, they are begging to be ruled.

Michael Ventura

Even in my town, even in San Francisco, thousands of gay men were arrested usually using entrapment techniques every single year for sexual behavior between consenting adults. That continued well into the 1970s until it was finally decriminalized in 1976, I believe.

Cleve Jones

Usually we're always working on something with this band a tour, making an album or a video or whatever. I don't have any desire to do anything outside this band, except play a movie part or something.

Dusty Hill
