Some of those states could technically have also just locked you up for getting a BJ or doing anal with the opposite sex because the verbiage used included basically any sex act other than penis in vagina.
Yeah in Texas were fully aware of the legal status of dick sucking and anal sex even for hetero couples when I was in high school. Frankly the ban probably encouraged some people to partake for extra naughtiness, but I was happy when the Supreme Court did away with those laws except for the rules against dildoes for whatever reason.
They foresaw bad dragon and wanted to nip that freaky shit in the bud.
And most of those laws are still on the books. Just waiting. Waiting for a Supreme Court to unleash them. We are so close to a massive hundred years reversal in this country.
Damn that is absolutely terrifying
To this day it is technically still illegal to have anal sex in the Louisiana state capital
well that’s a law I probably won’t ever break
I mean the capital as in the city not the building haha
Pretty sure he was making a self-burn. LOL.
Oof. What year was this law or whatever valid till?
WTFFF LMAO I thought this was some weird shit in the 19th century or whatever lol. Imagine being the penis laws lawmaker. “Land of the free” my ass lmao.
It’s shocking how recent acceptance of LGBT folk is. Check the 20th century for countries’ legalization of homosexuality, it’s fucking terrifying.
And it feels like we’re on a razor’s edge that could tip us back in that direction at a moment’s notice.
No it’s all really recent. For reference, my country, Sweden, commonly referred to as being super progressive and whatever overturned a law requiring trans people to undergo sterilisation if they wanted their gender legally recognised in 2013. Mere eleven years ago.
We were super horny for eugenics and the shit the Nazis did. Sure most of Europe was, but we aren’t the saints we like to portray ourselves as.
Lawrence and Garner appealed their sentences to the Texas Courts of Appeals, which ruled in 2000 that the sodomy law was unconstitutional. Texas appealed to have the court rehear the case en banc, and in 2001 it overturned its prior judgment and upheld the law… Lawrence then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear his case.
The Supreme Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6–3 decision, and by extension invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states
Never overestimate how precious weak men are about sexuality and oppression. I can just hear all the knickers twisting on that full en banc panel of Texas judges.
Thank you. SCOTUS will absolutely cite this again during the next round of layoffs of long-held civil rights.
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
Thanks!!
