As outgoing Privacy Chair of the American Civil Liberties Union of the University of Chicago, it is my duty and my privilege to issue the following statement regarding
today's decision on Laurence v. Texas:
YES!
Please note the mention of the "Professors of History" amicus brief; it was co-written by the brilliant George Chauncey, author of
Gay New York and professor at the University of Chicago. I had the great fortune of attending a lecture by him on the history of sodomy laws a few months ago; similar comments are made by Justice Kennedy in the aforementioned ruling.
