TEXAS 7 protection of the laws in the most literal sense. Id. at 633. A State cannot . deem a class of persons a stranger to its laws. Id. at 635. Thus while no individual class or group is guaranteed success all persons have the right to seek legislation favoring their interests. Here appellants do not suggest that Section unconstitutionally encumbers their right to seek legislative protection from discriminatory practices. Hence Romer provides no support for appellants position. Romer for example does not disavow the Court s previous holding in Bowers it does not elevate homosexuals to a suspect class it does not suggest that statutes prohibiting homosexual conduct violate the Equal Protection Clause and it does not challenge the concept that the preservation and protection of morality is a legitimate state Moreover while appellants may deem the statute to be based on prejudice rather than moral insight our power to review the moral justification for a legislative act is extremely limited. The constitution has vested the legislature not the judiciary with the authority to make law. In so doing the people have granted the legislature the exclusive right to determine issues of public If a court could overturn a statute because it perceived nothing wrong with the prohibited conduct the judiciary would at once become the rule making authority for society this the people have strictly forbidden. Accordingly we must assume for the purposes of our analysis that the Legislature has found homosexual sodomy to be immoral. The State also contends the legislature could have rationally concluded that homosexual sodomy is a different and more reprehensible offense than heterosexual sodomy. This proposition is difficult to confirm because in American jurisprudence courts and legislatures have historically discussed the topic only in terms of vague euphemisms. In fact statutes often made sodomy a criminal offense .
