Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) has filed a petition with
the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals asking the full
15-judge court to reconsider a decision by a three-judge panel last
month that overturned the state’s sodomy law, the Washington Blade reports.
The panel ruled last month that a section of Virginia’s
“Crimes Against Nature” statute that outlaws sodomy between consenting
adults, gay or straight, is unconstitutional.
