Any details on how sodomy was defined according to these Laws prior to 2003? i.e: "Idaho (all sexes; felony punishable by imprisonment for 5 years to life)". So, to which of anal/oral/BDSM/other sexual practices... for married/unmarried couples was this applicable?

[edit] "Gay Sex"?

There is a contradiction in the text -- in the beginning it says "gay sex" but then lists states where the laws apply to "all sexes". It seems therefore, that gay sex (which itself is not too clear -- was that male-male sex only, as in other countries, or also female-female sex?) was not the only target of those laws. -- John Smythe 02:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The only three anti-gay law(s):

Only Texas ($500), Okahoma (20 Years) and Kansas (2 years) same-sex only left in the statutes (Not enforced).

Missouri (2006) and Purto Rico (2005) repealed these anti-same-sex law(s) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.183.121.151 (talk) 07:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
