Supreme Court upholds state bans on gay sex (Washington, D.C., USA) 1986
In a stunning blow to the LGBTQ+ community, Michael Hardwick's plea to overturn Georgia's sodomy law fell on deaf ears as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the state, allowing states to criminalize consensual same-sex relationships. The justices based their decision on the notion that there is "no fundamental right to engage in homosexual sodomy." This landmark case, Bowers v. Hardwick, would become a major setback for the fight for gay rights, only to be later overturned in 2003's Lawrence v. Texas.
