The Dallas Morning News reports:
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says Texas should repeal a decades-old state law that criminalizes gay sex. “Consenting adults should be able to do what they wish in their private sexual activity, and government has no business in their bedrooms,” Cruz’s spokesman told The Dallas Morning News.
His remarks make Cruz the most prominent Texas Republican to call for the repeal of one of the state’s longstanding anti-LGBT laws. State lawmakers in Texas banned “homosexual conduct” nearly 50 years ago. Known colloquially as the “sodomy ban,” the law has been unenforceable since the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 2003.

... looking carefully at his statement, "Consenting adults should be able to do what they wish in their private sexual activity, and government has no business in their bedrooms," he may be considering a more general look at the sodomy law. It was for all couples, not just gay couples. Anyone can be a sodomite... They really were against any sex act that would not produce a child.

Sex and Ted Cruz in the same sentence leaves a bad taste and smell afterwards.
Is considered 'Sodomy' ... so blow jobs qualify as well, and possibly cunnilingus (if you're doing it right 
)
And plenty of M/F couples engage in both oral and anal sex.
So it's not really a law banning 'gay sex', per se.
Although I'd imagine it was rarely brought to bear against M/F couples, I think it famously was one time in the early 80's iirc. Maybe misremembering though.
