Sodomy laws in history, November 12
1875 — Washington Territory enacts a vagrancy law covering "disorderly persons." Since there is no sodomy law in the territory, this is the only law that can cover acts of sodomy.
1947 — A New York appellate court overturns the sodomy conviction of a "man of education and culture" accused by a mentally retarded vagrant, thus showing class bias.
