I’d also like to point out - why is human sexuality called “Sodomy” when men have sex together but not when hetero people have anal sex. Especially since most gay couples do not regularly have anal sex anyway, and studies have shown that hetero couples frequently do. What makes it “sodomy” other than one’s won need to paint human sexuality as something bleak, horrible, and disgusting in as perverse a way as possible.
For these people Sodomy is everything that isn’t sex for procreation. That includes oral, anal and every form of birth control. So this isn’t really a gotcha but just their next steps on the list.
They were all illegal as part of anti sodomy laws.
It’s named after the city of Sodom (present day Sedom, Israel) near the Dead Sea. The Israelites falsely believed the rumors of adultery, dishonesty, and uncharitableness. There is no historical evidence of homosexual behavior in the original biblical texts, that was added in the middle ages. Going on, the Israelites hated the Sodomites because they didn’t aid surrounding city states and kept to themselves. The city was heavily damaged in an earthquake due to underground gases, burned and was abandoned. Middle Age Christians rewrote the Book of Ezekiel and used it as an example of their God’s Wrath against what they viewed as immoral sexual behavior as Sodomy.
