2 29 p	You Start Finding Homosexuals "Immoral" & "Disgusting" #12 Rands one explicit statement about homosexuality, however, came in 1971 after a public lecture in Boston. She made it clear that her philosophy of personal rights and limited government required that homosexuality be decriminalized, an enlightened view for the time, but then went on to say, It involves psychological flaws, corruptions, errors, or unfortunate premises .
