Well Robin... There are about 13 states that have sodomy laws. At least until today. In 1960 all 50 states had them.
And only four (now three) are for same-sex only. While all had something by 1960, 20 were gone by 1980 (Illinois repealed in 1962).

Plus the Supreme Court overuled its own decision from 1986 regarding a state's rights to sodomy laws.
They are allowed to do that. As far as the '86 ruling: Justice Lewis Powell - "I think I probably made a mistake in that one."
