I think the sodomy law should be upheld. This isn't about consensual adult sex in private bedrooms. This will legalize sex in public places, like parks that kids could go to "once upon a time".

HOW WILL THIS LEGALIZE SEX IN PUBLIC???

There are already laws about sex in public. Each time this is brought up someone says that it will legalize sex in public.

The careful distinction is made in the column regarding this being a privacy concern, not a public concern.

I agree it should be upheld. But for only one reason. The US constitution does not prohibit states from passing sodomy laws.

The sodomy statute would be upheld ONLY if the Court is willing to extend the highly imaginative Roe vs Wade right to 'privacy' to sodomy. There was never any constitutional basis for Roe vs Wade. There is none for the sodomy laws.
