The deeper answer is that Lawrence v. Texas, in all its emotional, social and legal complexity, is a reflection of life itself. People do indeed lead complex lives. They fall in love, cheat, lie, drink. None of this makes them any less entitled, as Justice Kennedy put it, to “respect for their private lives.” If it were otherwise, there would be very few people—gay or straight—entitled to liberty.Dale Carpenter, Flagrant Conduct: The Story Of Lawrence v. Texas (via wwnorton)
