[Luis Gonzalez]

"If someone were copulating in the street, you bet they'd get busted for sodomy, plus everything else."

Laws about public sex apply equally for everyone, anyone would be busted for copulating in public.

"...copulating unnaturally in the back yard."

That has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

That is also public, not private behavior.

You're quibbling because you don't have an answer. The back yard analogy is very close to what actually happened in the Lawrence case.
