Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, Washington, D.C., October 11, 1987
Sections 553 and 554 of Article 27 of the Maryland Code prohibited sodomy (punishable with a sentence of “not less than one year nor more than ten years”), oral sex, and “any other unnatural or perverted sexual practice with any other person.”
Today (June 26, 2023) is the 20th anniversary of Lawrence v. Texas, the most important Supreme Court case in gay history. It finally ruled that consensual sodomy cannot be a crime and all state laws criminalizing it are invalid.
People don’t realize how recent it was that cops could arrest you solely for having gay sex, in the privacy of your own bedroom. It was slowly decriminalized state by state, but like 1/3 of all states still had those laws in place until 2003.
It didn’t get nearly as much fanfare and recognition at the time as the 2015 decision that legalized gay marriage. But I think it established a far more crucial right.

I FUCKING LOVE BEING POLY!!!!!!
I love that my partners can love whoever they want, and that they choose me. I love the secure feeling that no matter what they will always care about me. I love that they love other people and eachother just as much as they love me. I love that I'm one of the many beautiful things they choose to be around.
