"as all oral sex is sodomy, according to the Bible,"

Please cite chapter and verse for your allegation.

The old LEGAL definition of sodomy includes anything other than vaginal, missionary position sex, but I've heard of no biblical foundation for such a generalization--its all based on tradition...probably from the Roman Catholic church, not the bible.

The bible clearly spells out homosexual sex in both Old and New Testaments is immoral, calling it an abomination. As to what is specifially evil between a husband and wife, scripture says nothing.

Where scripture is silent, so should we be.

Where Scripture speaks we should speak, and where Scripture is silent we should be silent. That said, I have to question if Paul in Romans 1:26-27 is only speaking about homosexual acts between men. If there is a natural use of the woman, then there is also an unnatural use. Does that specifically state or imply lesbianism? No, it does not. Are Christians to have standards higher or lower than the world? I say that, because the law still defines sodomy as including oral sex between a married man and woman. Granted, the majority of these state laws have been struck down, and society has rejected them as outdated. Now you have to make up your own mind, but I know what Christ has done for me, and I am going to give Him my best and not my least.
