Does Arizona also have a law against homosexuality?

Don't laff... some states do. I am fb friends with a freshly admitted Log Cabin Republican. (He used to PRETEND he was Green, but I always knew better) Anyways, he is the ex bf of one of my main 'mo's and has joined all of these pages like "Boycott Dallas for boycotting AZ" et al, and I want to rub in his face being gay is against the Law in some states (MD is one...at least sodomy and oral sex are illegal) I don't agree with that, but am wondering if AZ has anything like that.

1. Short answer is No.

Prior to the Supreme Court Lawrence decision the only states that had laws against sodomy were Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.

3. that isn't true

every southern state except Tennesse, Arkansas, and ironicaly Georgia had one. In addition Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Utah, and Idaho had them as well.

7. I was referring to laws exclusive to homosexual sodomy

Which is what the context of the post was. So no I was not wrong. http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/usa.htm

2. actually thanks to Lawerence v Texas no state has an enforceable law against concentual sodomy

that said there were 17 states with those laws. Arizona repealed theirs in 2001 according to Wikipedia.

4. people like him are barred from adopting children in Florida because the state doesn't trust Gays to

be around children all alone. plain and simple. it's shameful and as long as he stays a 'puke, he owns that.

6. Such laws have already been struck down by the Supreme Court

You may find laws against being gay that used to be on the books in some states, but they're all null and void now.

States can still get away with other stuff to gays though, like banning gay adoptions, but they can't outlaw being gay or gay sex acts.
