There are laws that exist to "protect" people from themselves. As for the pot, well I think those laws are wrong, so I can't argue that one (even though I don't partake these days). There is the arguement that you have to protect people from themselves becuase if you don't they will become a burden to society, and in fact effect others. No seat belt give you increased medical costs, drug addiction gives increased costs to society, etc.
So if you want to argue that you have to outlaw sodomy to protect people from themselves, or becoming raging sodomy addicts to pillage society, then that's another thing
