Seems and important issue about Sodomy laws in 13 states are about to reach the Supreme Court. Thoughts? Opinions?

Yes.

IN BIZZARRO WORLD!!!@1311!

The fact that there are laws about which orifices you can stick your wang into during consensual adult sex is just retarded.

It's nice to see that state-endorsed bigotry is alive and well. That law sure is smart. Yup.

I'm personally very offended by the fact that my state endorses such a law. The way I see it what people do in their private laws is just that. PRIVATE. It's nobody else's damn business.

It's not just a gay issue. 9 of the 13 states define sodomy as any anal or oral sex, regardless of if it's homosexual or heterosexual.

The more the government tries to control the citizens, the more control they'll lose. At least it's a more relevant issue than 'freedom fries.'

I've only really heard of one case in which it was enforced on a heterosexual couple, but only because they were part of a protest consisting mostly of homosexuals.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

But i might be mistaken,i wouldn't want to accuse anything/one wrongly,but declaring a group of people "illgal" reeks a bit......

Interesting fact: For quite some time the laws regarding homosexuality in Britain only applied to men.

Therefor, one must conclude the Britain was a hotbed of steamy lesbian love.

I may be wrong, but I think even the bible only addresses male homosexuality, and says very little, if anything about women being lesbians.

I don't remember what state it was (Nebraska maybe?) that tried to get a law passed like that. They said that it wasn't "anti-gay", but it was really to give them another crime to hold against people that molest children. Needless to say, alot of people didn't believe the "do it for the children" line.

And please, now that I've mentioned child molesting, no priest jokes. That's a different topic.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

What I find funny, is the fact that sexual preference-related laws are even relevent anymore. I mean, homosexuality has become so ingrained in western culture that it isn't even a taboo anymore.

I just wish more law makers would follow former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's advice when he said:
"there is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation"


At least as far as I know, most, if not all of Canada has any laws like that left on its books.(Thoguh I may be wrong on that count)

Just reading that there are laws like that on the books and still being enforced just makes me sick. :/

That's not really the same, though. That also mentions that you can't bathe between certain months and that's not enforced.

I've never heard of anything like that being enforced here. I may just have missed it in the news, though. See if you find anything, Az.
