I don't know if you know the backstory on Lawrence v. Texas (the case that ruled sodomy laws unconstitutional as I'm sure you know).

The cops broke up a rowdy party and figured they had to arrest someone so they picked two guys who were in their underwear and charged them with sodomy.

The arrest got filed and a clerk (gay as it turned out) had to look up the statute because he had never seen an arrest under it before, and it turned out to be sodomy.

He alerted LAMBDA (and/or the ACLU). The two guys had planned on defending on the ground that they didn't know each other let alone ever had sex.

But they got convinced to make it a test case and, as you know, won.

Later, one of them died a pauper and the city cremated him and notified his family. After a year, nobody had claimed his ashes and they were thrown in a dumpster.
