1) actually, some were written to be specifically target only gay people. Kit’s first link lists several states that rewrote their sodomy laws specifically to target only gay people and not heterosexual sodomy.
2) even when they weren’t written to be gay-specific, gay people were invariably disproportionately targeted. And, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t shit like that STILL a problem with black people? Getting disproportionately targeted for enforcement of laws, resulting in a disproportionately Large Number of people being turned into criminals by the system?
Seriously, this was asked and answered like an hour ago.
So the best you have is "sodomy" laws, a misdemeanor in Kansas btw, since they are the ones supposedly targeting gay people, adultery is also illegal in Kansas.
Meanwhile black people had to drink from specific water fountains
Black people could only shop at certain stores.
Black people had to ride at the back of public transportation.
Black people couldn't buy property in certain neighborhoods.
Black people couldn't be in certain towns after sundown.
Black people were discriminated in being hired for jobs.
Black people could be arrested for not having a job.
But Gay people have SoDoMy LaWz, goodnight everybody.
