Jefferson never defined sodomy and he certainly never used the word homosexual because the word was not even in existence during his time.

In fairness, sodomy would have been sexual acts between members of the same sex, but it would also include some sexual acts of those of the same sex. Your OP is simply inaccurate, misleading, and misguided, but hey I am here to help you with some remedial education, but you will need to quit reading some revisionist history.

The Jefferson papers are not revisionist history. Seems your post is inaccurate, misleading and misguided.

Not really, for he was a product of his time. He also thought blacks were inferior to whites, and that holding them in slavery was reasonable. He thought that only white male landholders ought be given the right to vote. He no doubt thought that males were superior to females. He thought a lot of things that, in retrospect, were wrong, including his thoughts on homosexuality.

Such a thing is not possible, for one is either homosexual or they are not. A heterosexual cannot be recruited and a homosexual cannot be "cured". Now, if there are instances of child rape occurring, regardless of by whom, it ought be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Homosexuality cannot perpetuate itself...unless innocent heterosexual children are recruited into the abhorrent lifestyle. Homosexuality has destroyed millions of lives.

Clearly that's false, otherwise there wouldn't be homosexuals. The idea of recruiting them is too stupid to even discuss.

No. Bigoted attitudes such as yours is what destroys lives. That kid that jumped off the GWB a few years back didn't do so because he was gay, he did so because of the reaction of others around him to the fact that he was gay.

Big difference.

Well Thank Jeebus the GOP and its supporters like you are protecting us from those well-armed and dangerous fairies.

Who cares what his personal definition was? I'm talking about what he wanted to enact.

Some people are apparently bisexual or bi-curious, but even if sexual orientation were totally environmentally determined, there would be nothing wrong with homosexual relations.

Do we really need any more proof of how important it is that the tea-tards/Republican party is beaten into obscurity?
