By the way, I almost let this pass, but I can't.
we will have the jails full of lawbreakers of every color, creed, religious preference, and political offiliation.
Seeing as the law has been on the books for a long time, and similar laws have been on the books in various areas for quite some time, and we have not seen jails filled with people charged with this, I don't think this assertion has merit.

Sorry, but people have been arrested for having consensual sex. The difference in this case, is that the two men from Texas are actually FIGHTING their conviction all the way to the highest court in the land and will (hopefully) get this outrageous law off the books for good. If the court says there's no right to privacy in one's own bedroom, we're all in trouble. I don't know about you, but I don't want some hate filled neighbor of mine calling the cops on me when I'm in the bedroom with my husband. There's no need for the cops to bust in and arrest adults having consensual sex.
