Abstract
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the legal world was captivated by an ongoing debate between two of England's most respected jurists regarding whether and to what extent morality should be reflected in the law. The debate was instigated by the publication of the Wolfenden Report, a study presented to Parliament as it considered whether to repeal certain antisodomy laws in Great Britain. Lord Patrick Devlin, then a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and later elevated to the House of Lords, Britain's highest court, opposed the conclusions contained in the Wolfenden Report and supported the continuation of the antisodomy laws. H.L.A. Hart, then Professor of Jurisprudence at Oxford University, believed that the use of the criminal law to enforce popular morality, in particular sexual morality, was inappropriate. The purpose of this Article is to review the dissent in Romer v. Evans in the context of the continuing Hart-Devlin debate regarding the proper role of morality in law and analyze the legitimacy of Justice Scalia's arguments in favor of the enactment of morality legislation. Although the law at issue in Romer will be used as a primary example of morality legislation, this article will explore the legitimacy of such laws in other contexts as well.

A Message from Pioneer Network President & CEO, Penny Cook
The past few months have been incredibly challenging for many of us, and especially for long-term care communities. We are at a historic time in our country where once again, the issues of racial disparity and equity are at the forefront of people’s hearts and minds. The vision of Pioneer Network is, and always has been, A Culture of Aging that is Life-Affirming, Satisfying, Humane and Meaningful. For everyone. No matter where someone lives, the life they’ve lived or the color of their skin.
We stand up for unity, for all those who live and work in care communities and for everyone, throughout the country and across the globe. I’m reminded of one of our most important values: Relationship is the fundamental building block of a transformed culture. We need transformation right now. We need to build relationships. We need to do better.
