It's hoped that this will give less power to law enforcement to be
prejudiced against homosexuals...
In a decision welcomed historic by gay civil rights groups,
Massachusetts's Supreme Court made a change in the existing sodomy laws.
They ruled that those who engage in "sodomy" (thanks to
Gregster, we know that they really mean anal sex, but are just confused
with their terminology) in "semipublic places" cannot be
prosecuted as long as they try to keep it private.
On one hand, I disagree with this ruling. Personally, I'd kinda prefer
that such things be a little more private than "semipublic".
However, as this ruling puts gays and straights on a little more equal
ground regarding where and what they can do, it narrowly wins as a sign
of intelligence.
The news article has plenty of
opinions by people like GLAD and the Catholic Action League of
Massachusetts. I won't quote them here because you can read it at
