Lawrence v. Texas; The U.S. Supreme Court, in Justice Anthony Kennedy argues that colonial sodomy laws were about non-procreative sex in general and not specifically about same-sex sex as had been argued in Bowers. Consensual same-sex becomes protected but police forces across the country continue to entrap gay men who solicit sex in public.
