"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.

I refer you back to my previous statement of opinion:

If the question is over if there should be such a law or not, I believe the place that should be decided is in the legislature, not the courts.

My other point stands. You asserted the jails would be filled if this law stands. The law has stood, and the jails were not filled with people charged with it. You may think that even one person charged is too many, and you may be right (see my reply above to someone else on my opinion of sodomy laws). But to claim that suddenly there will be a homosexual gulag is just plain silliness.
