About Lawrence v. Texas

The U.S. Supreme Court made a significant ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), declaring that the majority[a] of criminal punishments for consensual, adult non-procreative sexual conduct (often known as sodomy statutes) are unconstitutional. The Court upheld the idea of a "right to privacy" that prior courts had determined the US Constitution affords, despite the fact that it is not specifically mentioned in the document.  It based its conclusion on American traditions of not interfering with consenting people' private sexual decisions and the ideas of personal liberty to define one's own relationships.
