Forced to Register as Sex Offender for Having Gay Sex

This story is happening in South Carolina. And I’m stunned that’s it’s happening at all in the US. A man was forced to register as a sex offender for having gay sex, and now he’s legally challenging the state. 

They aren’t giving out his name, but he was convicted of some antiquated anti-sodomy law back in 2001. Then in 2006, he was pardoned. However, that wasn’t the end of his terrible ordeal. 

He was still forced to register as a sex offender. 

The lawsuit states: “He suffers severely under the sex offender label, which involves the state in the daily management of his life.”

Here’s more. I would imagine there are a lot more gay men dealing with things like this all the time, but we never hear about it. And this is why I go berserk whenever some straight woman on Twitter tries to straight-splain to me.
