Alabama gay-sex ban:
An Alabama court ruled that the state's anti-sodomy law is unconstitutional. Alabama is one of a dozen states with such bans on the books.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. — An appeals court has ruled that an Alabama law criminalizing consensual homosexual conduct is unconstitutional.

The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously overturned the state's anti-sodomy law. The judges said it was the first time the law's constitutionality had been addressed since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a similar Texas law in 2003.

Civil and gay-rights advocates say the ruling is a step in the right direction.
