Since I saw a couple of funny laws around, let me post my 
2 drachma's worth here (1 drachma = 0.93 cents).

In Louisiana, there is a specific Law against what is called
"The crime that Christians dare not name". It refers to 
Homosexuality, "un-natural" sex acts, oral sex, etc. when 
performed by a couple which is NOT married. Several people
have been convicted lately, and the topic was hot enough
to interest the community and become a main topic in the
local news printout. (newspaper). The law was used primarily
against prostitutes found in the cheap motels and against 
homosexuals, but in any case was used. The paper said similar 
laws exist and are enforced occasionaly in Texas and other
similar states (californians be ware!!!)

Seems that the law has been around for a while and that is
going to be here for a while also. Meanwhile.....
it is just a "passion play" (Jethro Tull)
