While this title may be true of the most recent victims, it creates a dangerous fiction that early anti-sodomy laws were against homosexuality. That fits right in with religious arguments that homosexuality is banned in the Bible and other misleading factoids. Any solutions, now that we have come this far? Can anyone document scholarly studies claiming that anti-sodomy laws were no more and no less than anti-homosexuality laws, in a time when no one had even thought up homosexuality and sodomy was something that could be indulged in by anyone, just like theft?!

I'm not sure I understand your question. I get your point that because sodomy was made illegal doesn't really mean the act these folks were persecuted (and prosecuted) for was a homosexual act. I don't understand your "no one had even thought up homosexuality" and theft comparison. Can you explain? --Moni3 03:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Moni3[reply]
