In Virginia not only is oral sex illegal, but anal sex, any
homosexual sex, adultery, and even consensual sex between
unmarried people. The laws are seldom enforced except to add
another charge on the indictment in sexual assault cases (and
that only sometimes). That homosexual sex is illegal under
Virginia law was one of the arguments used against Sharon Bottoms
(a Virginia mother who lost custody of her infant daughter
because she's a lesbian--the most twisted part is that Sharon
Bottoms' own mother was the one sueing for custody).
I saw on CNN today that somewhere out west (Utah? Montana?
Idaho?) a local prosecutor is using a seldom-enforced law
prohibiting extra-marital sex to prosecute teenage boys who get
teenage girls pregnant. How's that for twisted?)
