Massachusetts
Section 34
Yes, even Massachusetts, with its reputation for liberalism, gets in on the remnant sodomy-law action with its Section 34 "Crime Against Nature" law. It reads, "Whoever commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature, either with mankind or with a beast, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than twenty years."
However, according to GLBTQ Advocated and Defenders, since 2002 Massachusetts courts have said the law does not apply to sex between consenting adults in private.
