–Is it a proper function of government to ban Google image searches in the name of enforcing copyrights?
–Does a “right to health care” include a right to a yacht ride? (“It’s about showing young people there’s something good in life and they can make lifestyle choices which hopefully mean they will go into higher education.”)
–Why is a major university paying already-admitted freshmen to retake the SAT?
–In which nation is an important court demanding that the government provide scientific evidence, rather than reliance on religious texts, to justify its 148-year old criminal gay-sodomy law if it is going to ask the court not to strike it down?
–Anyone remember “Project X” from Atlas Shrugged?

Even if scientific evidence were proffered proving that gay sex is injurious to society how would a law banning it diminish the amount of gay sex? Or, stated differently, how would a law banning it protect society when the law would be rather ineffectual at regulating behavior?
(I'm not advocating here that there is scientific proof establishing such. What I am questioning is the logic connecting scientific proof of the injuriousness of a behavior to laws banning that behavior. See prohibitions on cocaine or alcohol or jaywalking.)
