Question: Did Heath v. Alabama or Lawrence v. Texas take place first?
Context: Lawrence v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (otherwise known as "R v Lawrence") [1972] AC 262 is an English criminal law case establishing that the appropriation of property — under the meaning of the Theft Act 1968 — can be consented to.  The House of Lords here ruled that an appropriation of property can occur even with the consent of the owner.  To this end, they commented that the drafter's intentions in leaving out consent from the offence was to relieve the prosecution of establishing a lack of consent. Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003) is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court.  The Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6-3 decision and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states, making same-sex sexual activity legal in every U.S. state and territory.  The Court, with a five-justice majority, overturned its previous ruling on the same issue in the 1986 case "Bowers v. Hardwick", where it upheld a challenged Georgia statute and did not find a constitutional protection of sexual privacy. State v. Limon (280 Kan. 275, 122 P.3d 22) is a 2005 Kansas Supreme Court case in which a state law allowing for lesser punishment for statutory rape convictions if the partners were of different sexes than if they were of the same sex was found unconstitutional under both the federal and Kansas state constitutions.  It was among the first cases to cite the United States Supreme Court decision "Lawrence v. Texas" as precedent, months after the Virginia Supreme Court did similarly in "Martin v. Ziherl". Martin v. Ziherl, 607 S.E.2d 367 (Va. 2005), was a decision by the Supreme Court of Virginia holding that the Virginia criminal law against fornication (sexual acts between unmarried people) was unconstitutional.  The court's decision followed the 2003 ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in "Lawrence v. Texas", which established the constitutionally-protected right of adults to engage in private, consensual sex. Muth v. Frank, 412 F.3d 808 (7th Cir.  2005), was a case in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that the denial to an individual of a writ of habeas corpus for violation of Wisconsin's laws criminalizing incest was not unconstitutional.  The petitioners relied heavily on the Supreme Court's ruling in "Lawrence v. Texas" invalidating anti-sodomy laws two years prior, which the Seventh Circuit rejected. Witt v. Department of the Air Force, 527 F.3d 806 (9th Cir.  2008) is a federal lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of  /654 § 654  , the law, since repealed, that excluded openly homosexual people from serving in the United States military, commonly known as "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT).  The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in 2008 that under "Lawrence v. Texas" DADT constitutes an "[attempt] to intrude upon the personal and private lives of homosexuals" and it is subject to "heightened scrutiny", meaning that the government "must advance an important governmental interest, the intrusion must significantly further that interest, and the intrusion must be necessary to further that interest." Heath v. Alabama, 474 U.S. 82 (1985), is a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that, because of the doctrine of "dual sovereignty" (the concept that the United States and each state possess sovereignty – a consequence of federalism), the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution does not prohibit one state from prosecuting and punishing somebody for an act of which he had already been convicted of and sentenced for in another state. The Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition took place first from 1962/63 and then again from 1964/65.  The expedition, led by F. Alton Wade, was sponsored by Texas Technological College (now Texas Tech University).  It explored areas of Antarctica. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United States vary on a basis.  Since June 26, 2003, sexual activity between consenting adults of the same sex as well as same-sex adolescents of a close age has been legal nationwide, pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in "Lawrence v. Texas".  As of June 26, 2015, all states license and recognize marriage between same-sex couples on account of the Supreme Court decision in "Obergefell v. Hodges". United States of America v. Technical Sergeant Eric P. Marcum, 60 M.J. 198 (C.A.A.F. 2004) is a United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) decision which, among other issues, upheld Article 125 (Sodomy) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice against a facial substantive due process challenge, and ruled that the Supreme Court's decision in "Lawrence v. Texas", 539 U.S. 558 (2003) applied in analyzing as-applied challenges.  The decision is thus binding precedent on all courts-martial in determining if an Article 125 prosecution is constitutional.
