spiff, this case never would have been before the Supreme Court if the police had not entered a home and arested two men for doing it, and a court in Texas convicted them for consenual sex. That's how it gets to the court - because of the appeal of the arrest and conviction. Study the facts of the case, please. No matter what you seriously doubt, it happened.
As for the rest - the special rights/unequal bulls*** - we'll deal with that next week. Right now I am cheering the court.
hey i never said anything about texas. texas is practically another country
when i said i seriously doubt any, i meant i seriously doubt most police officers, the ones with common sense/lacking agendas, would bust into someone's house even if they did know two gay people were breaking a law. i phrased it wrong, i know there are exceptions to every rule and obviously someone had to have been arrested for this issue to go to the supreme court.
If I'm not mistaken, the police in this case were at the house for an entirely different reason than just to arrest two homosexuals engaged in homosexual sex (serving a warrant, called to a criminal action progress, etc).
Having said that, homosexuals should have all the same rights and privleges as heterosexuals. We're not living in the Dark Ages anymore.
Correct. They received a tip that a man was being attacked. They entered to find a middle age white guy in love with a younger black man. At the time there was also some discussion whether the police would have made an arrest if the situation was different. There were some very ugly undertones to this case.
