[Luis Gonzalez]

"The state has a great interest in stopping the spread of AIDs via sodomy."

If that were the case, then why did Texas decriminalize sodomy for 97% of the State's population?

Or, taking it further than that, and as we know that AIDS can be spread through any sexual contact, why not enact laws against fornication?

[TheDon]

The primary, by far, method for transmission of the AIDs virus is male on male sodomy. Next is....IV drug users.

Texas reasons for criminalizing sodomy has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Texans have an interest in preventing the spread of AIDs by criminalizing sodomy. So you can put down that straw man argument.
