sen. rand paul said saturday that he thinks the issue of sexuality is one that should be left behind closed doors.









<u+201c>and i think if we did a little more of that then maybe the law doesn<u+2019>t have to engage in stuff that<u+2019>s really personal, and the law could be more neutral, but i think the law ought to be fair to people and ought to provide equal protection for everybody,<u+201d> he said.









paul was asked about bruce jenner coming out as a woman named caitlyn.<u+00a0>social conservatives in the republican party have felt isolated by the nation<u+2019>s acceptance of jenner, a change they see as immoral. paul said he hasn't given jenner's transition much thought but said that sexuality should remain private.

<u+201c>we<u+2019>ve exposed so much of our lives that were at one time private, and if it were private, than maybe the law wouldn<u+2019>t have to take a position on it, you know what i mean?<u+201d> paul said in an interview here.









paul said that if he goes to a cocktail party, <u+201c>most of us don<u+2019>t talk about our personal sexuality, our sex lives, why does it have to be part of public discourse?<u+201d>
paul: laws on sexuality could be more <u+2018>neutral,<u+2019> but all should be protected
