Either next Monday or the following Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue its opinion in the gay sodomy case, Lawrence v. Texas. It will probably be the second Monday, June 23, because that’s the last day of the term, which is when the justices usually like to issue their most controversial opinions, because it means they can avoid all the backlash by jumping into their cars and screeching out of the Supreme Court parking lot and heading off to France. Or this year, maybe Britain.
June is when all the Supreme Court watchers salivate.
In anticipation of the Texas decision, I’ve been reading up on the case. This page links to all the briefs and lower court decisions in the case; other good sites are here and here.
I noticed that the Supreme Court brief supporting the gay plaintiffs, Lawrence and Garner, cites a particular Virginia case.
The case is called Bottoms v. Bottoms.
I don’t think they quite get the concept of sodomy.
The middle schooler in me is laughing hysterically.
Whatever the Court’s decision, i still remember that armed struggle still works.

Does that mean we’ll have to start chanting:
We’re here…
We’re queer…
And here’s our large semi-automatic weapons to make sure we still have the right to sodomize each other at our own choosing without governmental interference! (Color-coordinated weaponry, of course. Black goes with everything.)
Oh, and…
“June is when all the Supreme Court watchers salivate.” <-- was this a Freudian slip due to the topic of this post?
All I can say is… ha ha! Ha. I guess the middle schooler in me has still quite an influence.
