Supreme Court to hear TX gay sex case
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging Texas's law banning gay sex. "Specifically, the Texas men are asking the high court to decide whether their convictions under Texas's 'Homosexual Conduct' law -- 'which criminalizes sexual intimacy by same-sex couples, but not identical behavior by different-sex couples -- violate the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the laws.' They also challenge whether their convictions violate their constitutional privacy rights."
