I'm skeptical of the Wikipedia entry's tying Ugly laws to the ADA. That doesn't make sense chronologically. The repeal of the laws in the 1970s is more likely tied to an overall, nationwide trend of statutory reform and cleaning by-then-little-used old laws off the books (it was the same time many eugenics laws were repealed).
