For years many states in the USA had laws against sodomy.
In 1973 Texas renamed the sodomy law to "Homosexual Conduct". Which made it discriminatory, since sodomy was no longer illegal for heterosexuals.
In 1998 two Houston men were arrested for having private consensual sex in their home.
They legally pursued the issue and finally in 2003 the US Supreme court issued a 6-3 opinion stating sodomy laws are unconstitutional.
I lived in Texas during that time and it came back to me when I saw an article today saying Singapore To Repeal Sodomy Laws But Not For Gays.
