Individuals engaging in opposite-sex sexual activites could do whatever the f**k they wanted without fear of criminal reprisal (as far as the sodomy statutes was concerned).

He was caught drinking alcohol when he was helping a lady to her car in a parking garage in Las Vegas. No Mormon would be caught drinking in public. Oh..but he admitted he was drinking. It was the lesser of two evils: drinking or sexual assault. Drinking carries a slightly lesser negative stigma in Mormon Wards. What has Brother Harry Reid (his fellow Democrat Mormon) said about this? A Lukewarm endorsement of the veto? Are you sure, Johnson?
