Really? They're trying to overturn the law that overturned the law that outlawed oral sex. It was enforced, it was on the books until 2003 when the Supreme Court overturned the law. I believe it was Lawrenece vs. Texas.
This is utter and complete insane nonsense. Could this really be enforced. Why can't People bud out of the bedroom. This really sucks! but maybe not in Texas?

Like I said earlier, even if this goes through, the plan is not to enforce the law as it should, equally, but target homosexuality. That would be an easy target, for monitoring. In fact, criminalization of homosexuality is also a part of the plan. An excerpt...
"We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans"
In other words, the idea is to push for Bible based theocracy, one step at a time.

really? and how many people do you know that were arrested for performing oral sex? having it made a law does not mean it will be commonly enforced throughout the state (except for maybe in one of those tiny hog towns in east texas)
texas government is conservative, but texans themselves have a "live and let live" attitude. including our cities' police officers
the likelihood of someone in the more populated areas of this state actually being charged for performing oral sex is practically nonexistent. you probably have a better chance of being ticketed for jaywalking, which most people in texas do IN FRONT of cops

Well, the key is highlighted. It would make for another law that squarely targets specific groups of people (homosexuals, in this case) as I have mentioned a few times in this thread. It will be as "universal" in application as SB1070 is supposed to be in Arizona.
It was enforcement of the old law that led US Supreme Court in 2003 to strike it down (Lawrence versus Texas). But, as is the norm in Texas, you can never pander enough to them the "real Christians".
