These decisions obviously will not implicate First Amendment values. And the effect of Texas' sodomy law is not just limited to the threat of prosecution or consequence of conviction. Rochester Community Schools, N. The students of Michigan are free to make of Slaughterhouse-Five what they will. And because Texas so rarely enforces its sodomy law as applied to private, consensual acts, the law serves more as a statement of dislike and disapproval against homosexuals than as a tool to stop criminal behavior.

For example, in Sharif v, S ct black boy and girl fuck. I therefore concur in the Court's judgment that Texas' sodomy law banning "deviate sexual intercourse" between consenting adults of the same sex, but not between consenting adults of different sexes, is unconstitutional.
We took a similar course in a unanimous per curiam opinion in Dombrowski v. Until the courts put a stop to it, public debate over same-sex marriage displayed American democracy at its best.

To the extent that the Framers would have recognized a natural right to marriage that fell within the broader definition of liberty, it would not have included a right to governmental recognition and benefits. As to these, one purpose for the prohibitions was to ensure there would be no lack of coverage if a predator committed a sexual assault that did not constitute rape as defined by the criminal law.
And the Equal Protection Clause, as employed today, identifies nothing except a difference in treatment that this Court really dislikes. The policy of punishing consenting adults for private acts was not much discussed in the early legal literature.
In any event, if there is an appeal, if there is dissatisfaction with the subsequent Court of Appeals' judgment, and if certiorari is sought and granted, there will be time enough to address the First Amendment issues that may then be presented.
