“Let’s talk about sex baby.”

Yes, that’s right, while serving as Alabama’s Attorney General in 2003, William H Pryor Jr wrote a legal brief in defence of a Texan law which criminalised consensual gay sex behind closed doors. Fortunately that particular law was struck down by the Supreme Court… But that doesn’t mean he changed his mind on the subject.
He compared men having sex with men to “polygamy, incest, paedophilia, prostitution, and adultery” and commented that Alabama’s judicial system had “never recognised a fundamental right to engage in sexual activity outside of monogamous heterosexual marriage, let alone to engage in homosexual sodomy”.
“Homosexual sodomy has not historically been recognised in this country as a right; to the contrary, it has historically been recognised as a wrong. It is not a fundamental right,” he wrote.
So far… So ridiculous. But when it emerged that Justice Pryor, who currently sits on the US Appeals Court for the Eleventh Circuit, might be on Mr Trump’s shortlist for Supreme Court nomination, things went from ridiculous to slightly scary.
Fortunately, when things get scary, the internet steps up – like a cozy comfort blanket.
Enter, Florida native Logan Moreno, who tweeted a reply to the justice who might one day influence constitutional law.
Want to make it illegal for gay and bisexual men to have sex in their homes? “Then we’ll fuck outside bitch!” he wrote.
