what they termed “the right to
engage in sexual contacts with
loved ones.”
Louisiana civil libertarians at
the hearing vowed to use the
Texas case as a springboard for
challenging a Louisiana law that
makes sodomy a felony punish
able by five years in jail.
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

activities in public bathrooms,
