Yes they are, it criminalizes an act they call "deviant sexual intercourse" for some adults, and allows it for others.

It criminalizes same sex activity by men or women. You just keep returning to the same spin-doctored falsehood.

Statutory rape laws do not say (in spite of the age difference between legal consent age in some States) that it's only statutory rape when it couples people of the same sex, and not people of different sexes.

And such laws might criminalize acts committed by an adult but not by a minor.

Texas does not have a sodomy law, they have an anti-homosexual law.

Another PC talking point. The law targets activity, not orientation.

Imagine that the State of Texas creates a law that labels the act of burning the American flag "treason against the United States", but only if the flag is burnt by a registered Republican, but it's not a crime if you are a registered Democrat.

Committing same sex acts of sexual perversion are equivalent to fredom of speech and freedom of association? Which Amendment is that?

No, you have that backwards.

The laws criminalizes what it calls "deviant sexual intercourse", that being genital/oral/anal contact, but only between same sex, not between different sex couples. If you were right, "deviant sexual intercourse" would be illegal for everyone, regardless of orientation.

So then, political party affiliation is a constitutional right in your book?

Keep in mind that the First Amendment restricts the Federal government from creating laws, not the State government.
