No they are not. Citizens regularly repeal homosexual special rights statutes by referendum. The supreme court are on the wrong side of the democratic process.

Consider why was this not voted on by the citizens of texas as a referendum or even by their representatives? Because the majority wanted and accepted the prohibition.

Give me some examples. They are EXTREMELY rare.

Wrong. Most states and most American are opposed to these sort of sodomy laws.

That's Texas. Their laws still express a minority opinion when it comes to arresting and locking up gays...and I bet the laws are out-dated even when it comes to the views of most Texans.
