Was it really illegal in texas to be gay?

[FUNKbrs]

Huzzah! Another useless and unenforcable law struck down! Now if we could get them to do that with pot, I might actually benefit....

Ach, what the hell, I'll turn gay to celebrate!

Hey Ted, comeover into this dimly lit alleyway for about, I don't know 5-10 minutes.....

And Ted, bring a condom.

Well, you could be gay, but you couldn't do anything anwhere or you could be arrested. Stupid, yes. I'm glad to see it down.

I have the most obvious joke ever, but I wont say it for the sake of good taste. Lets just say it involves a very special someone and a four legged animal, both male.

It wasn't really enforced, but then this case came up for some reason and it brought the law's existence to light.

It's not the one about Michael Jackson's favorite song being "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", would it?

Why do you have to bring that up again? I told you I was drunk that night and I swore off alcohol ever since. Let it go. :-)

Great. They could have approved of something good, but instead, it was used on this.

Gay people aren't animals to be made alws against. I hate people who think they can attack minorities jsut because they are, well, minorities. I'm happy to hear it. It isn't even "sodomy" unless you are a dumbfuck naitsirhc
