A law that officially repeals Maryland’s sodomy law took effect on Thursday.
The U.S. Supreme Court in its 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling said state laws that criminalized consensual same-sex sexual acts between adults were unconstitutional.
Maryland earlier this year approved a bill that repealed the state’s sodomy law. Virginia lawmakers in 2014 repealed their state’s sodomy ban.
