Texas, prohibiting states from criminalizing intimate sexual contact between adults of the same-sex was both long overdue, and seems nearly forgotten. While same-sex marriage and the military ban on open homosexuals from serving in the military, are at the forefront of the equal rights movement, we should not forget the long battle against discriminatory sodomy laws, which resulted in the reversal of the infamous Bowers v. Hardwick decision, and set a new precedent for equality.	RESOURCES: CASES: Bowers v. Hardwick, United States Supreme Court (1986) Romer v. Evans, United States Supreme Court (1996) Lawrence v.
