They never went away. As of March 2019, 16 states either have not yet formally repealed their laws against sexual activity among consenting adults or have not revised them to accurately reflect their true scope in the aftermath of Lawrence v. Texas.
Often, the "Sodomy Law" was drafted to also encompass other forms of sexual conduct such as bestiality, and no attempt has subsequently succeeded in separating them.
Thirteen states' statutes purport to ban all forms of sodomy, some including oral intercourse, regardless of the participants' genders: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
Three states specifically target their statutes at same-sex relations only: Kansas, Kentucky, and Texas.
• Alabama (Alab. Code 13A-6-65.)
• Florida (Fld. Stat. 800.02.)
• Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 16-6-2)
• Idaho (I.C. § 18-6605.)
• Kansas (Kan. Stat. 21-3505.)
• Kentucky (KY Rev Stat § 510.100.)
• Louisiana (R.S. 14:89.)
• Maryland (Md. Code Ann., Criminal Law Article, § 3-321.) (Md. Code Ann., Criminal Law Article, § 3-322.)
• Massachusetts (MGL Ch. 272, § 34.) (MGL Ch. 272, § 35.)
• Michigan (MCL § 750.158.) (MCL § 750.338.) (MCL § 750.338a.) (MCL § 750.338b.)
• Minnesota (Minn. Stat. 609.293.)
• Mississippi (Miss. Code § 97-29-59.)
• North Carolina (G.S. § 14-177.)
• Oklahoma (Okla. Stat. § 21-886.)
• South Carolina (S.C. Code § 16-15-60.)
• Texas (Tx. Penal Code § 21.06.)
