No, a Supreme Court case around 2004 (Lawrence v. Texas might be it) has invalidated all state laws against sodomy.

The law is still in the books, and they're apparently used to keep gay people from adopting/holding custody.

It doesn't make much sense, but these laws have been used to do that.

Okay, thanks for that link from 2003 that clearly explains how sodomy laws are used in 2014.

I guess there ain't much use for them, but I still don't like the fact that they're still in the books.
