The term has historical origin in the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah.. Homosexual males were sodomizing the male citizens and God destroyed the place as example..
"A major example of sodomy is, of course homosexual sex, esp. between men, but the term is broad enough to include a lot else besides".
Its called "perversion"... Are you from Texas?
“The term has historical origin in the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Yes, Harry. But the article we are discussing is about sodomy laws which, in the American legal tradition, were not specifically about male homosexuality, but about non-reproductive sex acts generally. What is American isn’t necessarily Christian, and what is Christian isn’t necessarily American.
“Are you from Texas?”
No! Never even been to Texas.
I did my medical training in America in the 90s and then moved to South East England. My wife is half-British half-American. We are moving back to the States, probably permanently, later in the year.
