The Joe Rogan Experience.
They knew the guys were fucking each other in prison in the 50s, in the 60s.
Everybody knew it.
But homosexuality at that time, I think, was illegal in America.
At least in some way.
Sodomy is what was illegal.
Right, but that's what that is.
So you can be gay, you just can't do anything.
Because sodomy is mouth and butt.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then they changed it to same sex sodomy in some states along the way.
Finally.
So straight people could do their mouth and butt thing.
Who was the last?
The last guy to get convicted.
Shit!
2003.
What state?
The last dude who was eating ass in the 1860s.
What state?
I bet you could figure it out.
Alabama.
No.
Georgia?
No.
Tennessee.
California.
2003.
New York?
Texas.
Yeah, yeah.
Texas.
West Virginia.
Texas.
It was?
We got arrested for eating ass.
Your honor, he was eating that girl's ass.
I walked in, I caught him in the middle of something against our Lord.
Missouri had a law against homosexual conduct.
Ooh.
Wow.
We could all get arrested for that.
The crazy thing about calling it sodomy is like you're talking about Sodom and
Gomorrah.
You're talking about a biblical thing.
Like that's what's wild about that term.
Like that's the origin of the term sodomy.
So if you're saying that someone can't do gay stuff, you're saying they can't
do gay stuff
because the Bible says it's illegal.
Lawrence versus Texas is what it's called.
Wow.
That's nuts.
2003 is a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the court ruled
that sanctions
of criminal punishment for consensual adult non-procreative sexual activity,
commonly referred
to as sodomy laws, are unconstitutional.
The court reaffirmed the concept of a right to privacy that earlier cases had
found the U.S.
Constitution provides, even though it is not explicitly enumerated.
It based its ruling on the notion that personal autonomy defined one's own
relationships and
of American traditions of non-interference with private sexual decisions
between consenting
adults.
Fucking duh.
Imagine it took till 2003.
That is nuts.
Yeah.
So in 1998, John Geddes Lawrence Jr., an older white man, was arrested along
with Tyron
Garner, a younger black man, at Lawrence's apartment in Harris County, Texas.
Garner's former boyfriend had called the police, claiming that there was a man
with a weapon
in the apartment.
What a bitch move.
His old white man ex-boyfriend's just getting pounded by some beast.
He's son of a bitch.
He's got a gun.
Garner's former boyfriend had called the police, claiming that there was a man
with a weapon in
the apartment.
Sheriff Deputies said they found the men engaging in sexual intercourse.
Oh, what the fuck?
Imagine, imagine you're in the middle of having some good old butt fucking.
Just a bunch of police with revolvers.
SWAT team.
Texas fucking, fucking, hold up, hold up, stop, stop.
They got night vision on, shit, fucking, they brought a dog.
Jesus Christ.
Lawrence and Garner were charged with misdemeanor under Texas anti-sodomy law.
Imagine, they broke into these guys' house while they were having sex, and they
charged them
with the anti-sodomy law.
Both pleaded no contest and received a fine.
Assisted by the American civil organization Lambda Legal.
Not to be confused as NAMBLA.
North American Man-Boy Love Association.
You know, that's a real thing.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Lawrence and Garner appealed their sentences through the Texas Court of Appeals.
It's ruled in 2000.
The sodomy law was unconstitutional.
Texas appealed to have the court, wow.
Texas was like, nope.
Sounds suspicious.
We're appealing that appeal.
You ain't butt fucking in my county, son.
Look at here.
Page 25.
Right here in the good book.
Says no butt fucking.
Oh, my God.
You let one in, you let them all in.
Yeah.
A man cannot layeth with another man.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Wow.
What is the origins of the term sodomy?
Can you Google that?
I'm 99% sure it comes from Sodom and Gomorrah.
But what is it described when it says sodomy?
Like when you say?
Like the biblical description?
Yeah.
Well, Sodom and Gomorrah, right?
So they were apparently engaging in all these awful things and God decided to
smite them, right?
That's the story?
Do you remember the story?
I mean, someone tried to put a bad name on fucking Sodom.
He did something.
Something happened.
And I think it was like a town, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But was it two towns, Sodom and Gomorrah?
Yeah, they were next to each other.
They're just both butt fucking getting out of control.
Getting crazy.
It sounds like Vegas.
It sounded like Vegas.
It was their version of Vegas.
And everybody was like, hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
And they're like, what are you talking about?
We figured out a way to fucking not have kids.
Yeah.
And God's like, uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
No, not up the butt.
That's where it says it right here, I guess.
Okay.
Addresses people as from Sodom and Gomorrah.
Associates Sodom with shameless sinning and tells Babylon that it will end like
those two cities.
So what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible?
Oh, that was the fire and brimstone.
Right.
Can you just find out what it says?
I just want to read the description.
Oh, well.
Is it at the top?
Wasn't that it?
We have to do Bible study now.
Wasn't that it at the top?
No.
Yeah, we're doing Bible study, Jamie.
I know this is a long description.
It doesn't say anything that you're looking for.
It definitely isn't going to say anything about butt-fucking in the Bible.
I know that.
It's a lot of, like, inferred, this is what they were talking about.
Right.
I don't think that's butt-fucking in the Bible.
So it's just talking about sin.
But how does it become specifically sin, like, of butt-fucking?
Like, if you said someone sodomized someone, you would say they butt-fucked.
Right?
Hold on.
Let me do, like, sodomy.
It seems like religion has kind of penetrated society on this one.
You know what I mean?
Like, in the law.
Because that's what they say is against the law, right?
Sodomy?
Was that part of the thing?
Yes.
It comes from the sin of sodomy.
Yeah.
The sin of Sodom.
Sin of Sodom.
So why is sodomy a sin?
Jesus joins other ancient authorities in viewing the sins of the Sodomites
as the abuse of strangers, neglecting the poor and the needy,
and the stigmatizing of outsiders.
Whoa!
Wait a minute.
Now it gets weird.
Yeah.
Now it gets weird.
Because, gee, I like what Jesus is saying.
So Jesus is saying, when you commit sodomy,
the sin is the abuse of strangers, neglecting the poor and the needy,
and then stigmatizing of outsiders.
And then Texas is like, yeah, butt-fucking.
Yeah.
Basically butt-fucking.
That shit's illegal, man.
Don't be butt-fucking.
No, no, no.
And Jesus is like, that's not what I said.
Right.
Jesus is like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm saying, don't be shitty to strangers.
Scroll back down so I can read that again.
Don't neglect the poor and the needy, and don't stigmatize others.
See, this is how we prevent wars.
You other people, right?
Jesus is saying, don't do that.
And everybody's like, yeah, no butt-fucking.
Jesus said it.
Yeah.
It's right here.
Hey, no stigmatizing around here.
But imagine if that's what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were.
They were just shitty to people.
Yeah.
And Jesus is like, don't be shitty to people.
And then someone was like, I heard they were butt-fucking too.
That's even worse.
That's even worse.
There was probably some dude who really wanted to butt-fuck.
He was so angry that he couldn't butt-fuck.
Nobody gets to butt-fuck.
Right.
Because that's a lot of it.
Like, when you find people that are, like, vehemently anti-gay, you're always
like, hmm, how long before they catch you in a wetsuit?
Ooh.
Put a dildo up your ass.
Addition to this.
Okay.
Beasts from unnatural sexual relations, such as those customs imputed to the
inhabitants of biblical Sodom, especially between men, but also with breasts.
Beasts.
Beasts.
Oh, excuse me.
Beasts from old French sodomy, compare late Latin anal sex, literally the sins
of Sodom, from the Latin Sodoma.
In Middle English, also sin Sodomike.
