Actually there are laws against male homosexuality in places... or at least certain acts in it, none against the actual loving involved, but sodomy is illegal in many areas, fellatio is outlawed in arkansas, (wheres smurf with that picture of that sign) in Arizona you cant own more than 2 dildos, etc, (oddly i havent found any against cunnilingus yet) lots of stupid laws, but just because theres stupid laws, and those obviously dont get heeded by the majority, doesnt mean that if theres a law against something most people deem unacceptable, that it wont work.
And WA... many people are against it yes for religious reasons, but very few are against it to the point where they actually want to prevent people from doing it, or murder them for it etc. Not saying it doesn't happen, but certainly not near the extent that you make it out to be. Hell our uber conservative vice president's daughter is a lesbian.
