Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy

[BeBMan]

Surely all good people will stand up to save rentboy.com

I wonder if anyone has actually been convicted of sodomy, and what the circumstances were that led to the conviction.

1. The insertion of a penis into the bumhole.
2. Someone found out and reported it.

Just a guess, but I reckon those must be the first steps.

Very funny.

I was thinking more along the lines of proof, although I suppose you don't need that if there is a confession.

[MikeH]

People video sex all the time, and people are witnessed having sex all the time.

[Caligastia]

That would make for interesting courtroom viewing.

[rah]

If I remember correctly, in the earlier Texas case, no one actually witnessed the penetration.

[MikeH]

I imagine that made for some interesting cross-examination.

"But you didn't actually see his penis penetrate the anus?!"

[rah]

Well they were lying in bed without their pants on so where else could it have been?
Remember, we are talking about TEXAS. (No offense Slow)

[MikeH]

Of course, no two people have ever lain in bed without clothes on without a willy going up the bumhole!

...I really can't see any other reason for two dudes to get naked in bed. Are you trolling, merely being pedantic, or is there something big I'm missing here?

In addition, the platform says that homosexuality “tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.”

That's not the only thing sodomy tears...

[rah]

That's the point. They just assumed they were doing it. There were NO witnesses to the act that they were charged with. Somehow I don't think "I really can't see any other reason for two dudes to get naked in bed" should satisfy a jury that they were committing sodomy.

[MikeH]

That shows a remarkable lack of imagination Elok.

Completely plausible explanations (and clearly enough for 'reasonable doubt' in my book)

1. Caught before anything actually happened.
2. Oral or manual stimulation (or something else) only.
3. It was a very hot day (as I believe is common in Texas) and they could only afford one hotel room.

Unless there is physical evidence.

There are many other ways to have sexual relations, Elok.
