News Flash - Gays Are People Too!
The Supreme Court overturned the Texas Sodomy law that was used to convict 2 homosexual men. About time.
But the vote was 6-3. Seems to me, the constitution declares that we have the rights to 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'. Nowhere does it say "Unless you're gay".
Scalia read the dissenting opinion (Scalia, Rehnquist, Thomas) from the bench - VERY unusual. ABC News reported:
And I'll bet that some of the court's best friends are homosexual. The Homosexual Agenda? Since when do we appoint paranoids to the bench???

Scalia read the dissenting opinion (Scalia, Rehnquist, Thomas) from the bench - VERY unusual. ABC News reported:
"The court has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," Scalia wrote for the three. He took the unusual step of reading his dissent from the bench.
"The court has taken sides in the culture war," Scalia said, adding that he has "nothing against homosexuals."
