Lawrence v. Texas invalidated state-level sodomy laws as unconstitutional.However, unless a state proactively removes prohibitions on same-sex intimacy, local law enforcement authorities could choose to selectively enforce the law with the intent of targeting LGBTQ people — forcing them to expend money and energy defending themselves in court, even if the charges would ultimately be dismissed.Additionally, if the Supreme Court were to reverse its finding in the Lawrence case, those 12 states where anti-sodomy statutes have not been repealed would immediately be revived and could be used to prosecute LGBTQ people.Under Massachusetts’ anti-sodomy statute, which equates same-sex activity with bestiality, a person could be imprisoned for 20 years in prison for violating the law.A similar law punishes those convicted of an “unnatural and lascivious act” with a five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $1,000.The anti-sodomy and “unnatural acts” laws are being targeted for repeal by some more liberal members of the state legislature, who are seeking to repeal or erase other outdated laws governing personal conduct, typically known as “morality” laws.One such law is a prohibition on “night walking,” which critics say can be used to harass individuals, especially transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, for simply being out in public, allowing law enforcement to claim that such people intend to engage in prostitution.However, despite arguments from opponents, repealing the “night walking” law would not change other commonwealth laws declaring prostitution illegal.The Senate also added an amendment repealing a ban on “blasphemy,” a rarely-enforced statute in which Massachusetts residents are supposed to be punished

January 18, 2024All federal workers, including employees of Congress, are eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. That’s the benefit Buttigieg took advantage of when his children developed medical complications.But the decision to do so, in 2021, just months after being confirmed as Secretary of Transportation, has drawn jeers and derision from conservatives, many of whom believe that fathers shouldn’t qualify for parental leave since they do not directly give birth — or, apparently, have any significant role in child-rearing, except when it’s politically convenient to champion “parental rights.”Luna, 34, who gave birth to a son in August, had initially planned to return to Congress soon after giving birth.

“Ted” star Max Burkholder’s association with series creator Seth MacFarlane dates back to Burkholder’s childhood.“I did voiceover work for [MacFarlane’s series] ‘Family Guy,’ ‘American Dad,’ ‘The Cleveland Show,’ so in a weird way I’ve been working with Seth in some capacity for 20 years,” Burkholder, 25, told The Post.“And just because I was a little kid hanging around the ‘Family Guy’ offices, when it came time for the table read for the first ‘”Ted” movie, they needed someone to play the creepy little kid character — and so I did that when I was probably around 10.” “Ted,” streaming on Peacock, is a prequel to the 2012 and 2015 movies (“Ted” and “Ted 2“) in which a foul-mouthed talking teddy bear, Ted (MacFarlane), is brought to life by his pal, 30-year-old John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg in both movies) — and eventually interferes with John’s love life.Burkholder plays 16-year-old John in the TV adaptation, set in 1993 in Framingham, Mass., as John adapts to high school — helped (or hindered) by Ted (voiced by MacFarlane and brought to life via sophisticated computer animation).Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach play John’s Archie Bunker-type father, Matty, and good-natured mother, Susan; his older, liberal cousin, Blaire (Giorgia Whigam), attends Emerson College and lives with the family due to a sketchy situation with her parents.Burkholder said he was very conscientious about nailing John’s Boston accent.“I worked very hard on that,” he said.
