Gay rights activists say Louisiana has some unfinished business in the aftermath of the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down anti-sodomy laws, and they are taking their arguments to a state appeal court on Thursday.

True, Judge Robert Murphy of Jefferson Parish struck down parts of the law making it criminal for consenting adults to have oral or anal sex with each other.

But he declined to strike down a law making the state attorney general's office responsible for prosecuting organizations or corporations formed for the purpose of organized homosexuality, prostitution, narcotics and other activities spelled out in the law.

Rawls wants the references to homosexuality struck from that law.

1. surgery is a crime against nature

that includes c-sections, coronary bypasses, and surgically removing crippling anal cysts, Rush. Come to think of it, planting wheat is a crime against nature. So is cutting your hair or shaving your beard or snat. . uh, bikini area or wiping your ass after you shit. I believe starting a fire is a crime against nature, never mind using any form of electricity.

If we did everything the way "nature" intended we'd all be living in caves and dying after our teeth finished falling out sometime around the hoary old age of 25. 5 out of 7 babies would never make it to their teen years. And worst of all, THERE WOULD BE NO SATELLITE TV.

All your nature are belong to me!!!!!

The GOOD thing about this is seeing who steps up to try to defend the law - they definitely need to step into the light.

2. I think wiping your butt isn't a crime against nature

at least I hope it isn't

3. well technically, sitting to crap is

a crime against nature too. I think our neanderthal ancestors mostly squatted and trotted, no teepee involved.

4. you must have had straight neanderthal ancestors.

and the latest ''interior cave design''.

5. think about it

and from your post, you have

we don't truly sit to crap

it's sort of a squatting style--we're just supported by an object rather than free form

and I do believe that leaves were probably started to be used for TP or else where would the idea of TP have come from

7. Very few people here in Louisiana.....

are arrested for gay sex... The 'Crimes Against Nature' statute is mostly used to arrest people for having sex with animals (which, unfortunately, is very common here)
