So in part a challenge based of my two threads on the subject, but the challenge is thus:
Have America's legal laws develop that by the start of the 20th century in America so that all or 80% of the states do not have any laws that make homosexuality acts (or whatever it would be called in this ALT) illegal-but still consider a taboo subject.
However to add a little bit of the rope, this is the POD that one starts with: Jeremy Bentham decides to publish his essay An Offence Against One's Self and other works arguing against the legal view of homosexuality at the time which makes it way to the colonies.
As suggested by Washington, perhaps the next major law change is that when Naplolian sells Louisiana part of the new treaty is that the territory and any new state created from it will follow French law, either indefinite or for x number of years-including the Penal Code of 1791.
So with Bentham as the required POD, how do some of you think the challenge could be met?
