Even though the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003 struck down bans on consensual sex between gays, many states still have unenforceable laws against gay sex, including Kansas.
Kansas's conservative Republican governor, Sam Brownback, recently recommended that 51 outdated laws be repealed, but the "criminal sodomy" statute, which includes oral sex, was not not one of them.
