However, an interesting discussion topic came up today with some friends: could being in a same-sex marriage be construed as probable cause for a police officer to force entry into your home to check for sodomy? You could imagine a situation in which sodomy becomes illegal again in states where there are registered same-sex couples.

Wow. That's a deeply disturbing question.

Indeed. Other questions: is a used condom evidence of sodomy? Certainly it is possible to use forensic techniques to determine where the condom has been and whether its wearer was, um, satisfied with the outcome. How about unused condoms? What about PrEP? Your GPS will certainly tell authorities who has been in physical proximity with you and for how long (your phone records are discoverable). Consider also the trail of conversations you had on Grindr and Scruff: those are also discoverable.
