[quote=@Dead Girl] Think of two facts in history, fact one, in America homosexuality was classified up to 1972 as a mental illness. Second fact, sodomy laws have been used during the time homosexuality was classified as a mental illness. True, sodomy typically includes anal sex, oral sex and bestiality: in practice sodomy laws were used on the homosexual community when practicing adults of the opposite sex we more or less left alone. So, if you and your partner were the same sex, more so if they were male: discovered practice of male homosexuality proved their mental illness and their criminal behavior at the same time. [/quote] Which is, in two words, fucked up. But I've been saying for a while that mental illness should be treated separately from the prison system even if a mentally ill person committed a crime. But we have for profit prisons that kick back to judges and cops alike, so I suppose I'm overruled by those in authoritah.
