Sodomy in history, February 3rd


1859 — Kansas reduces the penalty for sodomy from 10 years-life to a maximum of 10 years.
1942 — The West Virginia Supreme Court rules that emission is not required for conviction of sodomy.
1958 — A New York court dismisses a disorderly conduct charge against a Gay man, saying there was no evidence that he did anything wrong.
1960 — The Ohio Supreme Court denies a habeas corpus release from prison for sodomy. The U.S. Supreme Court later refuses to hear the case.
1964 — The New Mexico Supreme Court rules that, since the state’s sodomy law prescribes only a minimum penalty, a sentence of life imprisonment is permissible.
