Personally, I think laws that prohibit sexual acts between consenting adults are stupid, and laws that protect people from discrimination are smart

Discrimination, expect when those people happen to be minors or otherwise underage for the specific law?

I'm not sure we're having the same conversation, but yes, I am in favor of people voting for laws that reflect their morality, even when it differs from mine.

The discussion started with the question whether criterias of age should matter for laws.
There are different example of laws that have to do with age and I care more about the general principles than the specific examples.
I think that because of liberal principles that it's a bad idea to forbid marijuana just because you think that taken marijuana is bad for someone.
I don't think that enforcing morality on that level is the role of the state, but I have no problem with a parent forbidding their child to use marijuana because the parent thinks that marijuana is bad for the child.
