Look, the case wasn't about the wisdom of sodomy, it was about whether it should be a felony, so that persons engaging in consensual sex acts should be liable to being imprisoned in the penitentiary

No it wasn't; the Texas law in question is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine ($150 or $200 in this case).

In some states, like Virginia, sodomy is a felony. When the Texas statute was struck down, the Virginia one went, too.
