Yes indeed. When I was a young man I heard the now famous quote "There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation" by Pierre Trudeau. It was concerning the homosexuality debates in the politics of the 60s, but it always stuck with me as a generally good rule of thumb, do we really need to bring this stuff into politics? Who I pray to, who I sleep with, and what my T levels are, don't seem particularly germane. You put it eloquently, the political universe really does spend considerably too much energy demonizing what is really innate human behavior.
