Sodomy in history, February 17th
1755 — Georgia enacts a law making it a crime to deny that Georgian laws are in force, thus showing that English laws are not recognized. Since Georgia has no sodomy law, this shows that the English sodomy law was not considered in force.
1905 — In Ohio, a man is sent to the State Reformatory for sodomy even though the records state that he "proved" his absence from the crime scene. He spends two years in the Reformatory.
1923 — Utah amends its sodomy law to outlaw oral sex and to increase the penalty to 3-20 years.
1950 — Georgia repeals its ban on probation for sodomy.
