Sodomy in Texas?2 reading minutes

«Il fait pas bon être pédé quand t'es entouré d'enculés», sang Renaud in his song Petit pédé. A song about homophobia towards young people with «apparently perverse tendencies», forced to leave home to be themselves. These lyrics couldn't be more in tune with current events on the other side of the Atlantic last June, marked - after the removal of the right to abortion from the US Constitution - by the Texas Attorney General's determination to reinstate his state's law banning sodomy, if the Supreme Court allows it. This law, repealed in 2003, effectively targets homosexuals. Because, as is well known (at least to this prosecutor), sodomy is the only sexual activity in which homosexuals engage... And heterosexuals don't practice it... Besides, there's no such thing as lesbians.
