Sodomy is not restricted to gay sex.

If sodomy were punishable by death, we would then have to execute every man or woman, straight or gay, who ever engaged in oral/genital sex.

Lose your head for getting a little head? I should think not.

I simply stated what the laws were at the time of Jefferson. Most sources for the info that I found also stated that the laws seldom covered acts by women.

This comment stands in stark contrast to your tagline. Don't you realize that we won't have the courage to resist taxation like they did in 1773 until we have the spiritual and moral strength they had back then? That was the crux of d'Tocqueville's observations. People who are slaves to sin will be slaves to other men as well.

Sodomy was punishable by death in many states back then. And yet, somehow, they managed to successfully throw off tyranny and write Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
