| Summary: | Nussbaum discusses the evolution of the regulation of homosexual conduct and the tyranny of the majority and how it shaped the legislation of homosexuality. Nussbaum discusses the idea that the state should only regulate those actions that affect society's rights and cause harm. Private actions made in private settings that do not affect others should not be regulated strictly on the basis of objection to the act itself. Although many such laws remain on the books, they are restrictive of individual liberty and that certain zones of freedom cannot be regulated. Constitutional law should recognize homosexual behavior as a right under the 14th Amendment right of privacy.
