Unconstitutional "now" - as opposed to before? What would have changed to make them unconstitutional now?

Interesting question.

I believe it is due to a gradual change in what should be punished in regard to personal behavior.

Cal it shifting social moray or whatever.

We have come a long way since the Salem trials. Many seem to think too far. In some ways I believe we have.

I believe it is due to a gradual change in what should be punished in regard to personal behavior.

But that doesn't change the Constitution. If this "gradual change in what should be punished" doesn't manifest itself in the form of a constitutional amendment, then the Constitution hasn't changed.

Evidently this gradual change hasn't occurred in Texas, or they simply would have repealed the law on their own.
