“Once they have the law in place, they will grant your reductio—on the age of consent, on polygamy, and on the bisexual thing. On everything. The terminus is sexual anarchy.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 67
“A Christian civil order will grant them liberties that they have no intention of granting to us.”
