Flagrant Conduct in Texas: how a bedroom arrest decriminalized gay Americans
Houston Chronicle ^ | March 12, 2012 | Maggie Galehouse

A new book about Lawrence v. Texas — the ground-breaking U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found anti-sodomy laws unconstitutional — argues that the case was based on events that didn’t actually happen.

John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner were arrested for having sex in Lawrence’s bedroom in Harris County. But Dale Carpenter argues in his new book, Flagrant Conduct, that the two gay men were not having sex and were not a couple.

This is an excerpt for political and religious discussion.

I’m not surprised it was a set-up. That’s SOP for leftists.

Rosa Parks refusal to move was a set up as well. This is how one tests a law one doesn’t agree with. Recently some open carry supporters got arrested handing out leaflets. It would not diminish the value of their purpose in my mind if I found out it was planned.

The Sbopes trial was a publicity stunt as well.

Thr Feds yanking tax exempt status from any church not perfuming gay “marriages” is the big plan here.
