Great. Then people will vote to remove that taboo by electing people to state legislatures who vow to remove laws reflecting that taboo. Pretty easy this voting stuff

Sounds like you're saying that whether something is "taboo" or not depends on whether or not there is a law against it. I, for one, do not need laws to make such judgments.

By the way, I'm not aware of any laws that prevent people from engaging in sex for reasons other than procreation. (And while there are adultery laws on the books they are never enforced).

Neither were those sodomy laws. But...where a law remains on the books, it can be enforced whenever someone has some axe to grind, or when it suits a political purpose.
