The Supreme Court, that is. The court today overturned a Texas sodomy law and a 1986 decision that said legalized prohibition of private sexual conduct was OK. In other words, the 13 states that prohibit sodomy between consenting adults don't have a leg to stand on.
One of those states is Florida. One of them is also Kansas, which has the distinction of being one of only four states that specifically criminalizes sodomy between people of the same gender.
I've long found sodomy laws repulsive. It's shameful they weren't thrown out years before this. But it's heartening to see something done. At least the S.O. and I are now assured that we won't be breaking any state laws anytime soon.
