define Sodomy

(sd-m)
n.
Any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal, especially anal intercourse or bestiality.


Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French sodomie, from Late Latin Sodoma Sodom; from the homosexual proclivities of the men of the city in Gen 19:1-11
Date: 13th century
1 : copulation with a member of the same sex or with an animal
2 : noncoital and especially anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex

Heres one more definition:

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
sodomy noun [U] FORMAL OR LEGAL
the sexual act of putting the penis into a man's or woman's anus

so I would think oral sex is normal so how would that be sodomy? anal would be but oral? I think not

I don't think oral sex would be normal for all people. What is normal for one person might be wrong for another person.

I've been gay as long as I can remember. Why on earth would I make a "choice" like that? It sure as hell doesn't benefit me in any way. I don't want special attention by attending a gay pride parade, I want EQUAL treatment under the law. And as far as the argument that I should "turn" straight, I would like to challenge a straight to "turn" gay and see how it works. Not so well. I'm in a stable, loving relationship, I pay my taxes, I like to shoot my guns and I like to work on my car. I don't randomly hit on men, just as I don't like it when women randomly hit on me. I go to work every day in a molecular biology laboratory trying to find a cure for cancer for every single one of us. Don't tell me I'm a bad person, don't tell me I made a choice and don't tell me to shut up. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. Government should stay out of the bedroom and away from my body.

I applaud the 6-justice majority in the Supreme Court who followed through with their oath, defended the constitution and remembered that we are all equal under the law.

"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it." -- John Stuart Mill

P.S. It's hotter than hell here in Ohio - any suggestions for which weight oil is best in my Duratec with 105k miles this summer?

Well, first, I'm not into all the flashy parades either, they're overly long and boring. We do have a festival in the park, which I enjoy as a social outlet and love the information. I'm not on the radical fringe and honestly don't believe in pushing it in everyone's faces either (ask anyone who's attended a meet with me), but I am a strong believer in equal protection under the law and for getting government the boot from our personal lives.

In marriage, I am expecting the same legal standards as they sit currently. In fact, I would be in favor or bringing back grounds for divorce. No one has ever expected lesser responsibilities for gay marriage.

Health: vaginal sex can also lead to cervical and vaginal cancer, not to mention unplanned pregnancies and STD's. Watersports, Bondage, Pain, object insertion, and the various forms of kink mentioned also are practised by heterosexuals.

Rome: Don't forget all the lead found in the aqueducts, pottery glazes and everywhere else. Centuries of accumulated exposure also gradually eroded the mental capabilities of the citizenry. Also remember the static nature of their technology. Other peoples were picking up and learning from the Romans, and used that knowledge in military tactics.

Promiscuity: I only have one word to say: Swingers.

Genetics: while an individual gene has not been located for homosexuality, being gay is a case of nature over nurture. The therapists and mental health "professionals" that claim otherwise are either letting greed or religious principle trump science. After all, they have a vested interest in maximizing the size of the encyclopaedia of treatable conditions. I do know of at least one professor teaching mental health professionals who brings homosexuals into class to show them being gay is not something to treat.

The Bible: At the very least, stay away from the King James Version. The KJV was created as a political document as much as a spiritual document. Queen Elizabeth had recently died, and the Puritain, Scottish Presbyterian, and Church of England partisans were pulling England apart at the seams. The Catholics didn't help unity, either, though were dismissed. King James commissioned a compromise Bible to satisfy all the Protestant sects.

Every Judeo-Christian religion picks and chooses the parts of the Bible it wants to choose for its doctrine. Every Judeo-Christian religion has the right to interpret the Bible in the creation of doctrine. Every Judeo-Christian religion has the right to apply the desired historical contexts to the Bible. I'm not even touching on all the religions that don't even use the Bible at all.

Our Founding Fathers chose wisely not to combine a Republican form of government and Theocracy. I respect that all of you have the right to believe as you wish, and to raise your children according to the beliefs you wish to instill. However, I also possess those same rights. The Constitution was crafted with care to protect the beliefs of all. Where the limitations of being men of their historical time failed to specifically grant equal status to all, the spirit has passed on to more enlightened generations to continue the work begun over 200 years ago.

All the Biblical/Moral banter is most interesting, but it lacks the salient point. What authority does government have to impose one moral viewpoint on the people?

P.S. On the oil, keep using 5W30.

are you still going I thought you would have run outta hot air by now.

No, they keep going and going.............


Why would a gay person be discriminated against?
