Hardwick}}'' notoriously left the individual states free to prohibit any ''acts'' they wish to define as "sodomy," by whomsoever performed, with no fear at all of impinging on any rights, and particularly privacy rights, safeguarded by the Constiution; yet only shortly thereafter a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules (in ''[[w:Perry Watkins|Sergeant Perry J. Watkins v. United States Army]]'') that homosexual ''persons'', as a particular kind of person, ''are'' entitled to Constitutional protections under the Equal Protection clause. To be gay in this system is to come under the radically overlapping '''aegises''' of a universalizing discourse of acts and a minoritizing discourse of persons.}}
