Overruled!


Map of U. S. sodomy laws on the eve of Lawrence v. Texas;
states shown in dark red still had such laws in effect until that time.

A short film from Lambda Legal explaining the background and significance of the landmark Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas.  This is the first time I've ever seen an interview with the late John Lawrence, one of the two men arrested and convicted of the crime of "deviant sexual intercourse" by the state of Texas in 1998.
