“In fact, the English word sodomy, which popularly means either homosexual or heterosexual anal intercourse, was derived from the name of the city.”
“Afterall, sodomy is probably not allowed for American Family A$$wipes.”
“Furthermore, as in sodomy laws, we have started to see less and less enforcement of these laws in recent years, and the enforcement we have seen has become more and more abusive.”

“So I guess that any form of heterosexual sodomy is also forbidden and therefore a sin.”
“Strictly speaking, especially in the 18th century and in most of the rest of U.S. history, sodomy is synonymous for homosexuality.”
