If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, an ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned.

Iranian Statesman

Warren E. Burger

To hold that the act of homosexual sodomy is somehow protected as a fundamental right would be to cast aside millennia of moral teaching.

American Judge

Sodomy is in the Bible, to be read in churches. I wouldn't rule it out of Mr. Bruce's act if he cares to comment on it.

American Actress

Tony Parsons

English Critic

Be aware of cultural and regional attitudes towards sodomy; it's sensitive or taboo in many societies.

Cultural Sensitivity

Historically, sodomy laws have changed and can vary vastly by location and time period.

Historical Context
