That is irrelevant to your original false statement ("There was not a single law outlawing same-sex sodomy in this country 100 years ago", in post 204), since the earlier laws also clearly covered same-sex sodomy, and were primarily used to prosecute such acts. They were interpreted to cover heterosexual activity as well (Lewis v. State, Adams v. State, etc), but this was the minority of cases.
