the landmark civil rights case that struck down the sodomy law in texas, making same-sex sexual activity legal throughout the united states. Based on the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of substantive due process, Lawrence v. Texas, by extension, led to similar laws in 13 other states. Kennedy wrote the majority opinion for this case, which was joined by Justices Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer.
