The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the state’s same-sex-only sodomy laws violated the state’s constitution. Fornicate without fear of arrest now!
Very cool. Very cool.
I’m guessing the folks in Eureka Springs agree.
Man, I am usually proud of being a Texan and take great pride in my state, but the ‘Homosexual Conduct Law,’ is an embarrassment surpassed only by the fact that the state upheld it as constitutional.
Can’t we all just get it on, I mean get along, get along.
“There are still a number of states where sodomy is still a crime. Yes, I’ve broken the law in quite a few states… that’s right, we’re outlaws… and whenever I go back to one of the towns where I had a particularly good time, I like to go to the post office and check the wanted posters to see if they’ve put my picture up with the other criminals, ‘wanted for sodomy’… and of course they don’t do that, but I wish they would because it would be a great way to get dates.” - Romanovsky and Phillips
matt, dear, you are the queen of Queer Quotes.
Bravo
BTW, this ruling has special significance for me. I live in Texarkana, which is on the border of Texas and Arkansas. The Gay Bar in town is acutally on the Arkansas side and so depending on whether I go east or west from the bar, I’m either potentially breaking the law or not.
“Wanted for Sodomy”
Delicious. And so much more honest than “Wanted for light conversation, possible romance.”
Hooray! It’s so nice when the world gets incrementally less repressive. This is the best news since Afghani women were (technically) allowed to go outside without those cussed burkhas.
Be free, you buggers! Be free!
Buggerers, to be absolutely precise. 
Truthfully, I have no idea if my dear old Pennsylvania considers me to be a morally derelict scofflaw or not.
Of course, as rarely as I get to indulge in those possibly illegal practices, I’m probably supremely safe either way.

According to the ACLU, you’re safe, jayjay. Pennsylvania’s sodomy law was struck down by the courts in 1980, and repealed by the legislature in 1995.
Just make sure you steer clear of Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia for all sodomy. Heterosexuals only can feel safe in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The jury is still out on Massachusetts, Michigan, and Missouri (yes, I know Missouri was listed above, but that’s the way the ACLU has it listed).
Hey, come on up to Vermont. Not only will we let you sodimize the hell out of whomever you want, but if the night goes well, you can get civil unionized in the morning. Plus, we have really good ice cream.
