the Supreme Court struck down Texas' sodomy laws (along with the laws in a
few other states) and while there are probably a lot of opinions on that,
what I thought was hillarious was the argument Texas used to support the
laws...

from an AP story
(http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030626/ap_on_go_su_co/s
cotus_sodomy_11)

Texas defended its sodomy law as in keeping with the state's interest in
protecting marriage and child-rearing. Homosexual sodomy, the state argued
in legal papers, "has nothing to do with marriage or conception or
parenthood and it is not on a par with these sacred choices."

umm... just how many kids are married couples creating while exercising
their sacred choice to have anal sex?
I'm betting that's a really small voting demographic...
