Sodomy.org

A journal of law, history, health, and culture


About

A public desk for a loaded word

This domain spent years as a cited compilation of American sodomy statutes. The rebuild keeps that job and refuses to pretend the word is only a statute.

Sodomy.org is an independent editorial site. It is not a clinic, a firm, a church, or a pornographer. The voice is a witty cultural commentator who has read the footnotes: part historian, part sex-ed teacher, part person who will not let a bad statute have the last joke.

In 1998 the site published “United States Sodomy Laws,” a state-by-state sheet that Wikipedia talk pages still mention. The 2026 site is static HTML — no WordPress, no page-builder — hosted on DreamHost, so the thing can outlive a plugin. Law, history, culture, and health are written to be cited. The journal is the place a future automated news intake will land.

Editorial rules

Money

Amazon Associates on books and films, optional merch, a newsletter. Display advertising if it can live on law/history pages without turning Health into a carnival. The hosting bill is real. The word is not for sale by the paragraph.

The list

The footnote, in your inbox

Occasional dispatches: a statute, a citation, a documentary, no penthouse ads. When the list exists, it will live here.
