Attorneys for The Cherry Pit said their case, in part, is backed by the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which upheld sexual privacy protections in striking down sodomy as a crime in the state.
The legality of private sodomy means you can publicize your house as a sex club? Bit of a reach on that one. I like sex as much as Roger Staubach, but seriously...
