Virginia: SCOTUS will not hear appeal to reinstate sodomy law

The Supreme Court won't hear an appeal of a lower court ruling striking down Virginia's anti-sodomy law.

The high court on Monday refused to hear from Virginia state officials who wanted to get the state's ban on oral and anal sex reinstated.

In March, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond declared Virginia's law unconstitutional.

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, currently running behind in polls in his quest to become governor, sought to have the law reinstated.
