Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court's attitude toward privacy and sexual orientation and actions has changed over the last 20 years. In 2003, the Court struck down sodomy laws in Lawrence v. Texas, recognizing the right to engage in consensual sexual activity as a fundamental right under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since then, the Court has extended the right to marry to same-sex couples in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, further recognizing the importance of privacy and autonomy in sexual orientation and actions.
