The Georgia sodomy law prhibited sodomy by both same-sex and different sex partners.

The Georgia sodomy law, underlying Bowers, has been thrown out since 1986 by the Georgia Supreme Court as "unconstitutional."

Don't know what that means to this case, but the fact that Texas specifically exempted heterosexuals may be why the SC took this case.

It means nothing. Georgia has an EXPRESS right to privacy in their State Constitution. When will you get to articulating your NON-Catholic answers to my questions?

Age of consent laws also "discriminate" against homosexuals. No one tried using that as the test case (wouldn't have put such a pretty picture on it, no one wants to step forward and say that adult homosexuals should be able to have sex with 16 year olds just like heterosexual adults).
