Sodomy in history,
October 24th
October 24th
1901 — The Illinois Supreme Court refuses to overrule its 1897 decision that fellatio violates the state’s sodomy law.
1912 — The Arizona Supreme Court rules that fellatio is not outlawed by the term "crime against nature."
1921 — The Arkansas Supreme Court upholds the state’s sodomy against a vagueness challenge.
1945 — The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rules that the sodomy law is not so broad as to cover kissing or shaking hands.
1956 — The Florida Supreme Court overturns a sodomy conviction because the defendant was found guilty by a judge before he had rested his case.
