The purpose of laws against sodomy are to keep it in the bedroom

You don't need to ban sodomy to ban public lewdness. Following your logic, we should also make non-sodomous (not sure that's a word) sex illegal in order to combat public lewdness. The government should pass laws as narrowly-tailored as possible in order to fight certain types of crimes.

But since it is now legal, it is in the streets, in the parks, in the bushes, at the beaches, on TV and movies, and being taught to kids in school.

Growing up in the 80's and 90's, I ran into people having sex in parks and on beaches (including people engaged in what would legally qualify as sodomy). Frankly, people who are the type to commit publicly lewd acts couldn't care less whether the acts commited are legal in private or not.

Certainly, some jurisdictions have been cowed by gay groups to the point that they are not willing to enforce public lewdity laws. But that is a separate issue. People should reject the argument that its okay to do something in public just because it is legal in private. We arrest people for public intoxication and we should do the same for public lewdness.

Sigh.

I don’t understand why you don’t get it. Seems as though it’s all theoretical with you.

In OR it’s perfectly legal to drink and be drunk in public as long as you are not pissing directly on someone or breaking things. Public lewdness is the “gay” agenda’s culture of gayness and is part and parcel of their agenda. If you haven’t seen it yet where you live or visit or read about it, you are living in a pretty pink fantasy of yesteryear.
