Of all the Ten Commandments, six of them (the fifth to tenth) regulate human behaviour. The seventh commandment "Thou shalt not commit adultery (Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18)." covers all sexual sin (Matthew 5:27-28). It is also the only sin that can be victimless, unlike murder or theft. Plain adultery has a victim, the spouse of the adulterer. But fornication between consensual adults has no victim. It is just pleasure for two persons. Likewise for other consensual sexual activities, gay or straight. This is the reason why people who do not consider the Ten Commandments may support these activities; after all, it harms nobody. It is only sin in God's eyes, and they do not bother about Him anyway. They are talking about freedom, inclusiveness and tolerance, not holy living. Of course they support holy living (being inclusive), as long as you do not impose it on them.
What is the next item on their agenda? The sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill (Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17)." There is a campaign to get euthanasia legalised. After all, if there is someone who wants to die, and another wants to provide a painless death service, there is no victim, it is just a business transaction.
