“We also need to regain the offensive. I think that one minor way to do that, at least in part, is to begin calling for the repeal of Lawrence v. Texas.”

Yes, Lawrence needs to be repealed, but navigating such a case to the SCOTUS that would overturn Lawrence may be somewhat complicated.

It would take a plaintiff to sue a state on the basis that the legalization of sodomy infringes on their constitutional rights.

The actual overthrow of Lawrence v. Texas would not be required for there to be some benefit to calling for its repeal. Simply calling for its repeal would to a certain extent put us on the offensive and the homosexual agenda on the defensive, causing them to utilize time and energy to defend it that might otherwise be used to bring further court cases, etc. for their agenda. It would also perhaps stiffen the spines of many on our side and give courage to those who might now only oppose homosexuality in the safety of the shadows rather than in the bright light of day.
