The good old days - laws that have actually existed....

I'm not a lawyer or legal scholar, but I'm approaching the age of dirt and remember a lot. Where possible, I've tried to validate that laws covering the issues below actually existed in the US.

It bears remembering so we know where we are being led.

Laws have existed in the USA which prohibited:

- Cohabitation between people of the opposite sex
- Sale of oral contraceptives, and restrictions on condoms to only married couples
- Any display of LGBTQ appearances or conduct
- Sex between members of the same sex
- Sex between unmarried adults
- Adultery
- Group Sex
- Allowing hotels to rent rooms to unmarried couples
- Blasphemy
- Businesses open on Sundays
- Integrated public establishments such as restaurants, movie theatres, or schools

Some of these are probably still on the books. It would only take a scotus decision to bring them back into force.

Ahh, the good old days.
