/ 20, By. SULZBERGER KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Gov. Brownback created the Office of the Repealer blonde looking orgasm to recommend the elimination of out-of-date, unreasonable and burdensome state laws that build up in any bureaucracy over time. For men and lesbians, there seemed one particularly obvious candidate: Kansas Statute 21-. That would be the “criminal sodomy” statute, which prohibits same-sex couples from engaging in oral or anal sex. The law was rendered unenforceable nearly a decade ago by a United States Supreme Court ruling, but it remains enshrined in the state’s legal code. But on Friday, when Mr. Brownback, a conservative Republican, released a list of 51 laws to recommend to the Legislature for repeal, the sodomy statute was not among them. The decision, despite public and private lobbying, has angered leaders here. “We were much the first in line with our request to have this unconstitutional ban on and lesbian relations repealed,” said Witt, chairman of the Kansas Equality Coalition. “This isn’t just some archaic law that’s sitting on the books and isn’t bothering anyone,” Mr. Witt continued. “It’s used as justification to harass and discriminate against people, and it needs to go.” Mr. Brownback, who is a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage on religious grounds, declined to comment, and his spokeswoman would not say whether he would support repealing the law against same-sex sodomy, a misdemeanor that officially carries a prison sentence of up to six months., the secretary of the State Department of Administration, which assembled the list, declined to discuss why the law was not included. “What we’ve proposed is what we proposed,” Mr. said. Though declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the case of v. Texas, which struck down an antisodomy law in Texas as an invasion of privacy in a ruling viewed as a crucial victory by rights organizations, these types of laws still exist throughout the United States., director of constitutional litigation for Lambda Legal, a national rights advocacy group, said that more than a dozen states had antisodomy laws at the time of the ruling, but she did not know how were subsequently repealed.
