LGBT rights in North Dakota
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in the U.S. state of North Dakota face some legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in North Dakota. Same-sex couples and families headed by same-sex couples are eligible for all of the protections available to opposite-sex married couples. However, discrimination protections still lack in the state for LGBT people.
==Laws against homosexuality==
The first criminal law against sodomy in North Dakota was enacted in 1862, then the Dakota Territory. It prohibited heterosexual and homosexual fellatio. The law was expanded in 1885 to include anal intercourse and fellatio.〔(The History of Sodomy Laws in the United States - North Dakota )〕 The state's vagrancy laws were expanded in 1903 to cover anyone whose speech or conduct was deemed to be "lewd, wanton and lascivious".〔 In ''State v. Nelson'' (1917), North Dakota Supreme Court broadened the scope of the sodomy law to include acts of cunnilingus.
In 1927 the law initially designed to permit the sterilization of mentally and physically disabled inmates was expanded to include anyone who the State authorities believed might be "habitual criminals, moral degenerates and sexual perverts".〔 The forced sterilization law was repealed in 1965.
In 1973, the State legalized private, adult, consensual homosexual relations as part of a larger revision of the criminal code that set the universal age of consent at eighteen years.〔William N. Eskridge, ''Dishonorable Passions: Sodomy Laws in America, 1861-2003'' (NY: Penguin Group, 2008), 201n, (available online ), accessed April 10, 2010〕
