In Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court held that laws against sodomy (specifically targeting homosexual conduct) violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court invalidated a Texas statute criminalizing homosexual sodomy and overturned its previous decision in Bowers v. Hardwick, which had upheld a similar Georgia law. The decision did not address antidiscrimination laws protecting homosexuals and did not give states the power to criminalize homosexuality.
