Here's what Lambda Legal's website is promoting: Tell Us Your Story - How Have Sodomy Laws Affected You? This is a historic moment for our community -- the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear Lambda Legal's challenge to Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law, which criminalizes oral and anal sex by consenting gay couples and is used widely to justify discrimination against LGBT people. We now have a tremendous opportunity -- a chance to convince the nation's highest court to address the widespread harms caused by Texas's law and others like it. Sodomy laws are used as an excuse for generally denying basic rights and equal treatment to LGBT people. We are branded as criminals and treated as second-class citizens. These laws are also widely used to justify discrimination in our everyday lives -- to deny us employment, to block custody or visitation with our children, and even to intimidate us out of exercising our First Amendment rights. Now is the time to strike the final blow in a decades-long struggle against these laws and for justice and equality. We need your help. Tell us how sodomy laws have affected you. Speak up. Speak out. Make history. (HAVE FUN!)
