Not really relevant to anything.

There are a LOT of these types of situations in the law. Once an issue is decided one way by a majority of the states and it becomes the law of the land, most of the remaining states don't bother to clean up the law books. It is expensive and pointless as that point.

There are a LOT of states, including many of the more liberal ones, that still have anti-sodomy laws on the books, even though Supreme Court decisions have made them unenforceable. But most legislatures don't typically bother to repeal them, they just don't enforce them.

So it took a GOP governor, a GOP senate, and a GOP house to pull this off? Shame on those democrats who lost their power.

Actually, since reputations are more about perception than anything else, I think it is relevant. I would be the first to admit not all perception is reality, but it does make a statement. Not all southerners are the same by any stretch--but sometimes states should fix laws on the books--or in this case, vote for the amendment even though it does not change the legal sutuation--lest people believe Mississippii is filled with Jessie Helms think-alikes.

Hell's bells, cocker shells, Corneyhole can hit a nice, fat, floating softball. It's a shame you couldn't get it out of the infield.

To my knowledge, in Alabama the sale of sexual toys is still illegal.
Georgia only lifted its sodomy laws within the past few years.

No, not recently. Georgia got rid of it somewhere between 1989 and 2002.

They won Bowers v. Hardwick in 1986

But Lawrence v. Texas got rid of the remaining sodomy statues in the 13 states that still had them in 2003 - and Georgia wasn't one of the last 13.

I still think it is illegal to be publicly turgid in Mississippi.

How about a Fredrick Douglas Republican?
