    This map shows how backwards and behind the times the south is.

  2. Yknow i really don’t think this is the best way to represent this information

  3. Many of those yellow states still have sodomy laws on the books, they just can’t legally enforce them.

    The yellow States didn’t actually legalize homosexuality in 2003. Their anti-sodomy laws were just federally overruled by the SCOTUS. If Clarence Thomas manages to get Lawrence v Texas overturned, homosexuality will be illegal in those states again.

  5. To be pedantic, this isn’t about legalising homosexuality as much as it’s about decriminalising sodomy

    Same sex marriage and similar things came in way, way later

  6. I love maps and data and I don’t know I’ve seen a single one I like on Reddit

    One stat that is not well defined or shown is the speed at which cultural ideas spread like this.

    How many years for marijuana?
    How many years for democracy?
    How many years for women to be treated near equals?

    It took roughly 40 years for homosexuality to go from crime to legal in one country in one period of our history.

    How many times have we gone through these issues?

    How long does it generally take, and are we getting better at it.

    The comment section on every map in this community:

    “Look at this stoopid map! OP is dumb-dumb! Yoo dont evur post maps here agen!”

    For this one (and many others), I would say this:

    “Good job. I bet this map took you a while. Thanks for sharing it here.”

    Wait, sodomy and homosexuality are very different things. Unless I’m very gay and didn’t know it…

    2003 is when the Supreme Court ourt decided Lawrence v Texas, ruling that states couldn”t criminalize sodomy. That”s why all those Southern states are tagged in 2003 – in truth, they never did legalize it.
