Alabama Law Forces Teachers to Teach That Being Gay is Criminal Mar 18th 2013, 20:03 link (link is actually to a petition) Quote: we're asking the Alabama legislature to remove a section of Alabama law that requires sexual education teachers to emphasize "homosexuality is not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public and that homosexual conduct is a criminal offense." ... But beyond being hurtful, this law is legally and factually inaccurate. In 2003's Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex sodomy laws are illegal and cannot be enforced, affecting not only Alabama's pre-existing sodomy law but also this segment of sexual education curriculum. Telling students that being gay is a crime is not only wrong, it's unconstitutional according to our nation's highest court. Jesus Christ, Alabama.
