mugen_edamame sodomy initially defined as unnatural sex, sex not done for the sake of procreation
uk passed first sodomy law in 1538, so prior to that weird sex was taboo but not illegal
Sodomy Laws in Europe, brought with them to colonies
1980 last sodomy law struck down in us, Texas
sodomy laws and ship w colonialism
19th century thinking changed (enlightenment, etc) hang on bible laws probably isn`t great
napoleonic code 1803 first legal system in west w out laws against homosexuality
consensual adult sex is ok, but they got finicky w definition of adults so that was how they got u
kertbenny. change the word of an issue, change how it's thought about
sodomite 8related to sin) -> homosexual 8SCIENCE)
the importance of labels
transsexuals have the rough end of the stick
categories, names do not have an objective value
it's the propagation of ideas so they can't be ultimately true or ultimately false
going for the clinical aspect is quite important but also kinda mostly impossible
kertbenny's views on things reflected use of language

therefore, colder, harsher terms
gotta be quite thoughtful about words friend.
words have biased slants in charged subjects
so proper language, clean cut
