Tyron Garner (L) and John Lawrence (R) appear at a press conference in
Houston after taking their 1998 misdemeanor sex charge to the Supreme
Court which ruled the Texas Sodomy law an unconstitutional violation of
privacy June 26, 2003. The 6-3 decision reversed the Court's previous
ruling that states could punish homosexuals for practicing what laws
historically have called deviant sex. REUTERS/Richard Carson
