Simply Dumb

It’s a Valentine’s Day miracle!

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a Texas law banning the sale of sex toys calling it a violation of the right to privacy under the 14th Amendment.

Here’s what the ruling had to say:

“Just as in Lawrence, the state here wants to use its laws to enforce a public moral code by restricting private intimate conduct,” the appeals judges wrote. “The case is not about public sex. It is not about controlling commerce in sex. It is about controlling what people do in the privacy of their own homes because the state is morally opposed to a certain type of consensual private intimate conduct. This is an insufficient justification after Lawrence.”

The case of Lawrence and Garner v. Texas refers to a 2003 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ban on consensual intercourse between same-sex couple.

In short, lonely lovers unite!  No one has to be alone this year on Valentine’s Day in Texas.
