Although I have no use for or respect for Queers, I must agree with the Court.  The reason is simple.

Homosexuality is either a mental illness, a physical disease or a birth defect.  Those are the only possible, rational explanations.  If we punish these sick people for their sickness, all that we are doing is opening the door for the persecution of other people with different diseases or defects.

Punishing a person with cancer or heart disease does not help them or us.  Neither does punishing people whose particular disease or defect causes them to want to have deviant sex with others of the same sex.

Rather than wasting time, effort and taxpayer money, trying to punish queers for deviant sex between consenting adults, we should be spending that same time, effort and money trying to cure them.  After all, if we can find a cure for homosexuality, there will soon be no need for laws against it.

Sorry. It has been said that Ted Bundy had a mental disease, and for the sake of argument, maybe he did.

He's still responsible for several murders he committed, and was appropriately sentenced.

Right Order must be preserved and encouraged.

Further, the Texas law does not call for penalties which are unreasonable, nor cruel and unusual.
