Nothing in the article seems to indicate that it has changed to cover non-sexual behavior. I assume that the court dealt with the case before it, which was fornication, which is a sexual behavior. That's what courts typically do. Virginia still has a sodomy law, which is still in force. I imagine if the sodomy law were presented to the court, it would be struck down on the same basis. As for laws that criminalize private, non-sexual behavior, if there are any, I assume they would be struck down, too. I just don't happen to know of any. I don't think oil painting or chin-ups or Scrabble have been made illegal so the court didn't have occasion to address them. I assume.
