Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas Law Banning Sodomy
Today's kind of a legal day. Anyway, woohoo! The decision wasn't unexpected, but it did overturn their own 1986 ruling to the contrary. The Supreme Court may be sullied, conservative, and about 20 years behind the times… but every now and then, they pull through for you. Check out the quote from the Kennedy opinion:
… [gays] “are entitled to respect for their private lives… the state cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime.”
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, raging homophobes of the world.
