"In 2003, a Supreme Court case struck down the remaining sodomy laws in 13 states after police in Texas raided the home of a gay man and dragged him and another man out in handcuffs.

"As horrific as that sounds, three members of the court voted that they saw nothing wrong with putting people in prison because they're gay.

"One of those justices is still on the court and swore in Amy Coney Barrett at her request.

"The person she described as her mentor and extremely close to her ideologically is the other justice who argued vehemently that every gay person you know should remain felons."

"When that bill passed the legislature, the sponsor slapped his cosponsor on the back and they were immediately in violation of that very law, because in Texas you can't have a prick touching an asshole." — Molly Ivins, Conference on World Affairs, 2003. Wording may have been slightly different.
