This law is not used, at least in Texas, to arrest homosexual activity in a private home. It is, however, a useful way to keep homosexuality from being taught as acceptable in our schools.
I need to have this confirmed, but I have been told that this challenge to the sodomy case was a setup from the beginning, i.e. two homosexuals made sure to get themselves arrested so that the statute could be challenged.
From the article:
The Texas law is being challenged by John G. Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were found having sex in Mr. Lawrence's Houston apartment by police officers who entered through an unlocked door after receiving a report from a neighbor that there was a man with a gun in the apartment. The neighbor was later convicted of filing a false report. The two men were held in jail overnight, prosecuted and fined $200 each.
