Sodomy in history,
April 3
1930 — West Virginia outlaws oral sex. With its new criminal code, it finally eliminates the term "buggery" from its sodomy law.
1939 — Colorado outlaws oral sex, more than 11 years after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that fellatio was not a "crime against nature." It also lowers the maximum penalty from life to 14 years. The law includes an emergency clause, but why 11 years could pass before it became an emergency is unclear.
1963 — Colorado repeals its ban on voting by anyone convicted of sodomy.
1975 — New Mexico passes a sexual offenses revision, repealing the state’s sodomy law, but retaining common-law crimes.
1989 — The Washington Court of Appeals finds a privacy interest in sex in enclosed restroom stalls.
