Sodomy was also one of the sins that got tacked onto the list of anyone you were trying to villify back then, along with witchcraft, murder, heresy, blasphemy, consorting with devils, fornication, perversion, disrespecting the Virgin Mary, forgetting the Pope's birthday, singing out of tune . . . .

I think it's fascinating how accusing someone of something they had actually done never seemed to be enough. 'If we accuse them of every sin we can think of then they must be guilty!'
