Michigan lawmakers pass bill that makes sodomy illegal
The Michigan Senate has passed a bill that effectively reaffirms the state’s unconstitutional law making sodomy a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Yes, you read that right. Those that partake in butt sex, either gay or straight, could be sent to prison. Some states’ sodomy laws specifically target gay relations, but Michigan’s is among those that make oral and anal sex crimes illegal regardless of whether they’re same-sex or different-sex.
It reads in part, “the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or with any animal.” Because the law uses the word “mankind” many suspect that it reaffirms the sodomy laws that are already on the books.
The peculiar nature of the Michigan legislation is that this anti-anal sex with humans provision appears as part of an amendment to a bill that addresses bestiality. In Michigan, bill SB 219 is known as Logan’s Law, named for a Siberian Husky who suffered acid burns at the hands of an animal abuser. The law makes it illegal for someone convicted of animal abuse to own another animal for five years, but it also reaffirms the state’s sodomy laws, allegedly allowing for up to life in prison for that particular “crime.”
While all this is happening, Flint, Michigan is still suffering from lead poisoning in their water. Mothers are not sure how to bath their children or cook them food. The rations of one case of water per family per day isn’t cutting it. But hey, let’s focus our attention on those that participate in butt sex. They are the real problem.
