That is a good question. Well, first you have to ask what sexual acts are being committed.

If it is just normal vaginal intercourse, then it should be ok. But if there is oral sex involved, which i'm sure there would be in any 3-some, then it would be a crime under the current s. 377. s. 377 makes no distinction between man, woman or animals. Any combination of these groups which engage in carnal intercourse will be liable.

It wouldn't be once s. 377 repealed, unless of course, one of the men decide to do something with the other man, then s. 377A will come into play.

What is interesting to note is s. 377 talks about carnal intercourse, i.e. anal and oral - against the order of nature whereas s. 377A talks about gross indecency. I think gross indecency has a much wider meaning and would include not just carnal intercourse but also heavy petting like foreplay and in extreme cases, kissing.
