Utter rubbish! Homosexuality has never been illegal in the US but the act of sodomy was until 2003 and The Supreme Court's verdict in the Lawrence v. Texas case.

The fact that homosexuals, as a group, are officially discriminated against at both the federal and state levels makes it as good as illegal in my book. Maybe I shouldn't have said that homosexuality is illegal. It's just sort of less than all the way legal.
