In appeals court has ruled that an Alabama law criminalizing consensual homosexual conduct is unconstitutional.
The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously overturned the state's anti-sodomy law. The judges said it was the first time the law's constitutionality had been addressed since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a similar Texas law in 2003.
Civil and gay-rights advocates say the ruling is a step in the right direction.
The Human Rights Campaign says Alabama is one of a dozen states with anti-sodomy laws on the books.
There's a law in some states in Australia saying you have to be 16 to have vaginal sex but 17 for anal. As if authorities are going to come busting down your door and then say "HOW OLD ARE YOU? Oh ok...AND WHICH HOLE IS IT IN?"
