U.S. District Judge Jerry Buckmeyer of Dallas ruled in 1982 the Texas law was uncon stitutional. He denied several appeals — some hatched during political campaigns — to reopen the case. Attorney Roderic Steakley of Dallas said Baker had no right to challenge the law in the first place because he “did not lose his job or suffer as a result of (the law).” Charles Bundren, of Dallas, claimed that a similar Missis sippi law prohibiting homosex ual conduct was upheld by the 5th Circuit Court in the mid- 1970s and said the U.S. Su preme Court has “not extended the right of privacy to consen sual, homosexual acts.” Dallas Doctors Against AIDS Inc. argued homosexual contact can and should be controlled because of the public’s “compel ling interest in the private and public health of its citizens.” Representatives of Louisiana gay groups, who last week were stunned when the New Orleans City Council rejected a gay rights ordinance, said they plan to file a challenge to the state’s sodomy law this summer. The law makes it a crime to have “unnatural” sexual inter course — including oral or anal- genital sex — with another per son, including a spouse, officials said. Jim Kellogg, an attorney for a New Orleans gay coalition, said the law is often enforced against people engaging in such activities in public bathrooms, pornographic bookstores or A lawyer for a group called cars parked on dark streets.
