State Senate repeals sodomy law

Good morning. I am pleased to report that the campaign to

    repeal the sodomy law in Rhode Island has ended successfully. The

    front page of the Providence Journal  reports that the State Senate

    finally voted to repeal the 102 year old statute ( the abominable

    and detestable crime against nature ).

        Activists here are confident that Gov. Lincoln Almond will sign

    the bill. The Senate vote went 26-17 . A picture on page B 1 shows

    jubilant activists, among them Rep. Michael Pisaturo, the only openly

    gay representative.
