Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Campaigns On Effort To Restore Ban On Oral Sex
http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2013/07/17/2315251/virginia-cuccinelli-oral-sex/
In an unusual move, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R), his partys nominee for governor, launched a new campaign website Wednesday highlighting his efforts to reinstate Virginias unconstitutional Crimes Against Nature law. The rule, which makes felons out of even consenting married couples who engage in oral or anal sex in the privacy of their own homes, was struck down by federal courts after Cuccinelli blocked efforts to bring it in line with the Supreme Courts 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling.
The new site, vachildpredators.com, highlights 90 people identified sexual predators in Virginia who have been charged under the law since the 2003 ruling, which held that states could not ban private, non-commercial sexual relations between consenting adults. Cuccinelli warns that these offenders could come off Virginias sex offender registry if a Virginia law used to protect children is not upheld, and identifies the sodomy law as only the Anti-Child Predators Law. While it is true that many sex offenders are charged under the Crimes Against Nature law, it is far from the only tool prosecutors have to punish child predators.
The law states, If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony Cuccinelli claims that the law is only applied to sodomy committed against minors, against non-consenting adults, or in public, but fails to mention that what he wants to keep on the books criminalizes the private behavior of consenting grownups.

How does Cuccinelli feel about accepting money from companies with business before the state?

Count Virginia bankrupt if they enforce it and build prisons to hold most of the citizenry.

I'm sure the aim is to use this law to outlaw homosexuality, but times have changed...
