John Lawrence & Tyron Garner

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual

The arrest of John Lawrence and Tyron Garner by Texas cops led to the Supreme Court's zapping of Texas' sodomy law and plunged us into the current war being gay men and women against the religious zealots that vote Republican.

The men were arrested after police -- sent by a bogus report of an armed intruder -- burst into Lawrence's apartment and found them engaged in consensual sex. The pair was jailed overnight and charged with breaking Texas' Homosexual Conduct Law, which bans oral and anal sex between people of the same gender.

Two men proud to have helped defeat state's sodomy law

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about John Lawrence & Tyron Garner. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
