That's just plain medieval. I particularly like the fact that progressive
Texas forbids "deviate sexual intercourse with another individual of the
same sex."
What, according to Texas law, would constitute non-deviant sexual
intercourse with another individual of the same sex? And does the law
prohibit deviant sexual intercourse (whatever that means) with an individual
of the opposite sex? For that matter, does it prohibit deviant sexual
intercourse with numerous others of the same sex?
Here's another gem from the article:

> appeals court found the law "advances a legitimate state interest, namely,
> preserving public morals."
"Only" 13 states criminalize it, which is 11 more than recognize same-sex
marriages.
Dave!
