Umm...you don’t see the police busting down doors to find consensual incest, bestiality or consensual pedophilia either, do you?

These things are... and should continue to be illegal whether heterosexual or homosexual.

I don't believe this sodomy ruling should effect the status of these acts at all.

But with this ruling they can be challenged in exactly the same way homosexuals did to remove sodomy laws, there is NO difference with this broad decision. Citing substantive due process as the criterion to remove laws against “consenting” behavior, ALL consenting behaviors have equal standing under the law. Provisions that result in the unfair, arbitrary, or unreasonable treatment of an individual where no civil rights are violated state legislative law can be overturned now using Lawrence.
