Supreme Court sodomy ruling eyed in Texas case
The court is poised to decide on Texas 1973 Homosexual Conduct Law that bans sodomy among gays while allowing it for heterosexuals. The decision could reshape gay rights and affect other states with similar laws. Retirements by Chief Justice Rehnquist or Justices OConnor and Stevens may accompany closing term actions. Lambda Legal argues the law fuels discrimination in employment and adoption cases.
