  • Lawrence v. Texas Part 2 with Marcus McCann
    Sep 26 2024

    "Times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress. As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom."

    — Justice Anthony Kennedy

    This week, Marcus McCann brings us to the end of our story of a few good men who challenged Texas' anti-sodomy law, and ended up changing the law of the land—and we ask what becomes of the people who bring the rest of us closer to freedom.

    Dale Carpenter's book Flagrant Conduct: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas

  • Lawrence v. Texas Part 1 with Marcus McCann
    Sep 18 2024

    Or, is it legal to have gay sex in your own home? This week, Marcus McCann takes us back to the 2003 Supreme Court case that challenged a Texas anti-sodomy law--with little stops along the way for Mexican food, the endowment of James Dean, and peevish police. (Part 2 coming next week!)
