Those who violate bans on anal sex in the US state of Michigan now face up to 15 years prison time, after the Michigan Senate passed a controversial bill last Thursday (February 4), and despite the US Supreme Court ruling the legislation to be unconstitutional.
While the bill does not specifically target the gay community, the legislation outlaws anal sex completely, reports New Now Next.
Sponsored by Senator Rick Jones, the bill is linked to the prevention of bestiality.
“A person who commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or with any animal is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for no more than 15 years,” it reads.
If the person is found to a “sexually delinquent person” or an existing sex offender, they will face a life term in prison.
actually, a lot of types of sex are banned in a lot of states (under sodomy laws) but they're never enforced and it'd be pretty much impossible to enforce anyway (how would you prove someone had anal sex in their own home? put cameras in their house and watch them have sex?), so i wouldn't worry too much about it.
and if the court ruled it unconstitutional then as far as i know they can't actually sentence anyone under it, so it's probably just useless.
