Coincidence? I think not.

Thanks to a U.S. federal appeals court ruling that struck down the Texas law, Mississippi, Alabama and Virginia are now the only states where they’re still illegal. Amazingly, the judges split 2 to 1.

Says the Statesman:

The state also argued in a brief that Texas has legitimate “morality based” reasons for the laws, which include “discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex and the pursuit of sexual gratification unrelated to procreation.”

Wow.

[I’ll admit, I didn’t know what prurient meant. According to Princeton’s Wordnet, it means: “characterized by lust.” I just learned something - and even better, the word “lust” will probably push me way up the Google rankings, too. Lust lust lust.]

[Lust.]
