n Kansas the MPs oppose the abolition of the ban on same-sex sex - and this despite the relevant law has long been invalid because it violates the U.S. Constitution.
By 2003, consensual homosexual sex between two adults was still illegal in some states. Then, the Supreme Court of the United States on these laws as unconstitutional - it would contradict the right to privacy.
One of the states, which was affected by this provision, Kansas. There, the law was invalid now as part of a streamlining of the criminal law will also formally abolished. But you want to prevent two deputies.
Jan Paul Democrat and Republican Lance Kinzer have established that the Judiciary Committee have already waved through design changes - and "sodomy" between persons of one sex over the age of 16 remains in the statute books of the U.S. state officially punishable.
Lesbian and gay activists respond with head-shaking ". Jan Pauls was a judge before they are seconded, you should know better that it breaks with the support of an unconstitutional law violate their oath to protect the Constitution," said Jon Powell annoyed by the "Kansas Equality Coalition. He adds: "We have their obvious support for the harassment of lesbians and gay enough."
Legal implications of the initiative the way, no two members - the U.S. Constitution weighs more than laws of the states.
