the logic is quite odd, as you note manx.
he seems to want to keep the laws on the books, in case of sex criminals. Why not make forcible sodomy illegal? That covers things well. Etc...
The idea that the law is "usually" unenforced offers no protection to a politically dienfranchised group. And beyond that...a selectively enforced law is a danger in and of itself. the opportunity for a malicious prosecution is raised, the power of the government to threaten...
the point is that laws should outlaw conduct that should be illegal, not be blankets that have uncertain interpretations. i don't trust the state to tell me what "sodomy" is good and what is bad.
