What the law says about sodomy and homosexuality

It may be that engaging in homosexual activity is outlawed. But if I were to use an example of one born left-handed, if it was a crime to write with a left-hand, such a person would not be punished for being left-handed but for writing with a left hand just as a gay person would not be punished for being gay but rather for engaging in a same sex relationship.

In my opinion there is a world of difference between engaging in a prohibited conduct and lobbying for that conduct to be decriminalised.
