1Opinion of the Court

AMDAHL, Chief Justice.

On December 2, 1986, a Hennepin County trial court dismissed a complaint charging respondent Richard G. Gray, Jr., with sodomy in violation of Minn.Stat. § 609.-293, subd. 5 (1986). The complaint was dismissed on the ground that section 609.-293, the sodomy statute, is unconstitutionally broad and infringes on its face and as applied to Gray upon the right of privacy guaranteed by the Minnesota Constitution. We accepted the state’s petition for accelerated review of the trial court’s order; we reverse and remand to the trial court for trial or other disposition.
