Lawrence v. Texas (2003) functionally decriminalized gay life in the US by overturning the anti-sodomy statutes of 13 states, including Texas, but it was argued on similar grounds to Roe v. Wade, making its future tenuous. In this episode of TMQH, we bring you a run-down of the fascinating facts of the case and what we can do to ensure that it stays on the books.

Special shout out to You're Wrong About, who coincidentally also put out a two-part series this month on Lawrence v. Texas! This episode of TMQH was planned and produced prior to their episodes dropping, but if you listen to both our episode and theirs, you'll hear why both of us felt this was a necessary piece of history to address right now. Go give their episodes a listen if you want the full details of what happened the night of the arrest and how both John Lawrence and Tyron Garner were impacted by this case. You can find You're Wrong About on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
