The newsmax story isn't telling the entire story: the problem with the Kansas sex in restroom case is that the law had seperate punishments for the same crime based on what genders were involved. If it was man on woman sex it could be pled down to a lesser charge. Man on man sex couldn't. It doesn't mean that you can't have anti-public sex laws.

Actually, that is not the problem.

The SCOTUS struck down sodomy laws period.

That means you can have sodomy all you want in public restrooms, you can't get charged.

Though you could charge "indecent exposure" or something probably that wouldn't get much in the way of punishment.

Not according to some folks it seems, please read the second part of the newsmax article, the part under "exhibitionists jeopradized".
