... I think the most absurd holding in the opinion is the majoritys conclusion
that the Anti-Sodomy Statute does not distinguish persons by their sexual
orientation. Indeed, the majority actually wrote that "while homosexuals may be
disproportionately affected by the statute, we cannot assume homosexual conduct
is limited only to those possessing a homosexual orientation." In other
words, the majority concluded that since it is possible for heterosexuals to
engage in homosexual conduct, a statute that outlaws only homosexual conduct
does not single out homosexuals. It keeps straight people from committing
homosexual sex acts, too.

France: 15
Germany: 16
Ireland: 16
Italy: 14
Portugal: 14/16
