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.
By Phillip Rawls, Associated Press JUNE 17, 2014
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.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
