Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003) is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court. The Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6-3 decision and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states, making same-sex sexual activity legal in every U.S. state and territory. The Court, with a five-justice majority, overturned its previous ruling on the same issue in the 1986 case "Bowers v. Hardwick", where it upheld a challenged Georgia statute and did not find a constitutional protection of sexual privacy. Question: Did Heath v. Alabama or Lawrence v. Texas take place first? Answer: Heath v. Alabama

Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 2003 is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court.
