4th Circuit Court of Appeals strikes down Va. sodomy laws


A long-standing “Crimes against Nature” law, which criminalized anal and oral sex in Virginia  has been found unconstitutional by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declared that the Virginia law violates the U.S. Constitution’s due process clause.
