A divided three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned Virginia's anti-sodomy law in a Colonial Heights case. The majority ruled that Virginia's "Crimes Against Nature" anti-sodomy provision is unconstitutional in light of a 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating state laws that make sexual activity between consenting adults crimes.

"It is shameful that Virginia continued to prosecute individuals under the sodomy statute for 10 years after the Supreme Court held that such laws are unconstitutional," said Rebecca Glenberg, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia. "This ruling should bring an end to such prosecutions," she added.

Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for the Virginia Republican Attorney General's office, said, "We are reviewing the decision and will consider our options."

Virginia Anti-Sodomy Law: 'Crimes Against Nature' Law Struck Down By 4th U.S. Circuit Court Of Appeals

Apparently republicans in Virginia don't get a head.
 
LOL - oh good, now everyone gets to experience the joys of legal oral sex as opposed to the joys of illegal oral sex that they've been experiencing for all this time.

I wonder which one is more exciting?
 
Damn. Just damn.

Now I'll have to scrape off my "When oral sex is outlawed, only outlaws will go down" bumper sticker.

;) Well - from experience - doing anything you're not suppose to do gives a thrill...until you get caught.

Damn. Just damn.

Wow - my God. Is that original Gardener right there or did you steal that bit of genius from someone else? 'Cause that's pretty ****ing clever.
 
Don't worry, it and almost every other kind of sex is still illegal in North "by God!" Carolina, and YES they still enforce it.
 
my god! what is next? sex with fork, sex with your car, ekkkk!, sex with other consenting adults?????

This is nothing but a gateway to have sex with anything you want. must protect the children.
 
Referring to the odd disparity between the title and comments on this thread and the actual law change, hopefully the court will now provide some guidelines for the OP and the other eager low information voters on the difference between Sodomy and Oral Sex.

Man! The crazy things a ****ed up town has to do in order to get a sex move named after it!

Why isn't Oral Sex called Morrady after Gomorrah or something like that? LOL

After reading some details about this case I can see why the cops wanted this guy off the street and threw the book at him. In a nutshell, what the 47 year old man did was ask a 17 year old girl to give him a BJ and have sex in a shed, but she refused. Then a few months later he filed a false police report saying that the 17 year old girl abducted him and sexually assaulted him by forcibly giving him a BJ against his will.

Can't help but feel bad for him.

We are not all schooled like you seem to be in the various ways sodomy can be carried out. Pardon us for our naivete.
 
Next time Obama visits Virginia you'll be all set.

Any thread, any topic, this dude has to talk about Obama. Are you sure this post isn't just you projecting? :lamo
 
"Oral sex now legal in Virginia"

But is virginity legal in Oral, South Dakota?

depends how you interpret it.

i find it hard to see "ANY" religious context in
Crimes Against Nature

to me sodomy and oral sex is a natural human act and the government has no place in the bedroom..
 
Definition of SODOMY: anal or oral copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex

Your comment made me look this up. I also thought you were correct until now. So, we learned something today.

As i suspected:
"Crime against nature" is a legal term used in published cases in the United States since 1814.
edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_against_nature

religion was a big influence back in the 1800s. Esp. with laws.

I do agree with you about the natural human act.

madman i think you need the quote that the quote Crimes Against Nature" the quote function ignored..
 
religion was a big influence back in the 1800s. Esp. with laws.

so it is possible crimes against nature was really influenced by the Bible back then but your government trying to separate itself from religion when creating the law used those words...


hence your seeing religion in the mix....

and quite rightly so...

Ah, poor baby - this is a politics site isn't it? Sorry to remind you about your vote for the disaster known as Obama - I appreciate that you just wish people would forget you got conned into voting for the fool a second time, but that doesn't mean the rest of us aren't going to constantly remind you.

So try to toughen up a bit, look at your collection of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Betamax players and contemplate a time when you might stop making the wrong choices over and over again.
