Sodomy

After catholic conquerors took over the last state of Andalucía any homosexual act was subject to a death penalty and Judaism as well as Islam were banned. Following laws of Christian Church, LGBTQs had to go underground to not to be accused in sodomy. However, due to hard work and sacrifice of gay activists the death penalty for homosexual acts was removed in 1822 with the first Spanish penal code, which referred only to unchaste abuses. In 1868, the crime of causing public scandal was added,…

Homosexuals have faced discrimination and hatred all throughout history. For example, sodomy was a crime before 1961 (Green, 2015). No aspect of homosexuality was legal in the United States before 1961. If sodomy was a crime, then homosexuals were not allowed to marry or adopt. They were punished legally like someone who sped or stole from a store. In addition, "a New York City bar did not serve…

In the 1400’s and the 1500’s the Renaissance art was ruled by four Italian artist: Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

Child Neglect and Abuse One day my mother, my father, my sister and I went hiking on a trail. When we arrived we had full mind that we were going to get lost maybe a little or a lot. So, we walked along the trail, laughing, telling stories, eating sunflower seeds and pretzels as we walked, taking photos and having a great time. When we attempted to exit the park it was much harder. The markers on the trees were almost completely faded but we made it back. But the trip back wasn't all filled with…

This illusion that Gacy had continued to portray for years as the good neighbor, citizen, and friend would eventually come to end upon the disappearance of Robert Priest in December of 1978. According to Cartel, “Gacy was supervising a drug store construction job in nearby Des Plaines when he spotted fifteen year old Robert Piest. Gacy told the boy that he would pay him five dollars an hour if he worked for him during that 1978 summer. When Robert’s mother came to pick him up he told her…

Ask any young gay where the modern LGBT movement began, and it’s likely they’ll answer “Stonewall.” The Stonewall Riot, a two day period of rioting after a police raid at a gay bar in 1969, is often hailed as the genesis of sexuality and gender liberation in America. However, ask any LGBT historian the same question, and their answer might be much more complex. Although within the modern LGBT community Stonewall is considered the turning point toward true equality, both socially and politically,…

all the way back to the days of Noah and Sodom. Demonism is alive and well in the Middle East. I don’t mean to suggest a general rule that if someone is active in homosexual or heterosexual sodomy, this necessitates direct demonic involvement. But there does seem to be some link between demonism and sodomy, especially in Noah’s and Lot’s day. I don’t think the sudden shift towards both gay marriage and transgendered persons is a coincidence. As sexual deviancy as well as gender confusion…

The five motives that I chose to discuss that induce a person to kill are Financial Gain, Sexual Gratification, Emotional, Self-Protection and Apparently sex-connected homicides. The first on is financial gain. Someone will be driven to murder another person if they knew they stood to gain a large sum of money. This can include the beneficiary of a will or insurance policy of a spouse or relative. In addition, they could receive financial gain by being the surviving spouse in a community…
