Gay Legal Victories
On November 19, 1979, Donald Baker, a
former Dallas public school teacher and
President of the Dallas Gay Alliance, filed a
lawsuit against Henry Wade, the Dallas
District Attorney, and others. Mr. Baker asked
a federal court to strike down the Texas
sodomy law.32
On August 17, 1982, Federal Judge Jerry
Buchmeyer struck down the Texas sodomy
statute (Penal Code 21.06).32 On March 11,
1983, Jim Mattox, the Texas Attorney
General, dropped the State's appeal of the
case. He said that he could not find a pur-
pose for the law. Homosexual conduct is now
legal in Texas.
We can discern many reasons for the
sodomy law. Homosexuality endangers the
public's health, causes increased crime and
threatens to destroy the foundations of our
culture. Homosexuality is deviant, patholog-
ical social behavior.
We support laws against homosexual con-
duct and homosexual proliferation in our
community. Texas House Bill 2138,
presented to the 68th Texas Legislature, is
one such law.
