Equal protection under the law (14th Amendment). I believe that's what the judge was in effect saying that the second part of the law was denying, to a potentially wide variety of people, not just homosexuals. The Texas sodomy law was overturned on that basis by the SCOTUS already. In theory, that case laid the basis for all such laws discriminating against homosexuals to be overturned. This case will probably end up before them, and they will have no choice but to uphold the federal judge's decision.
