Craig, it seems you are having a hard time following this thread. You see, it started out with Tab claiming homosexuality was illegal some time ago and asking me if I would vote to keep homosexuality illegal. My answer, of course, was no. I asked him to post proof of homosexuality being illegal and he did not. Instead, you came along and posted a law on sodomy being illegal.
What you are failing to understand is that sodomy does not equal homosexuality. And though homosexuals take part in sodomy, so can heterosexuals. You see, SODOMY DOES NOT EQUAL HOMOSEXUALITY.
You're the one 'having a hard time' Corbett, as you continue to repeat the same line, is it seven, eight, ten times now, dishonestly pretending it's innocent, to dodge your bigotry.
I've addressed Tab's earlier post already, and clarified the issue. You just keep repeating the same nonsense over, and over, and over, even after being corrected each time.
You are the one who chose to pretend that the topic was homosexuality being illegal (hey, a straw man you can win against), instead of homosexual sex being illegal, with word games.
That was a mistake with one post, but repeating it post after post after post after you have been corrected is the behavior of someone who posting in good faith.
I'll show how you are feigning innocence in the following example, where you admit the point about 'how you would vote' meaning to ask your opinion on an issue, after you had tried the same kind of word games by treating the question as if it were about an actual ballot - and then you later go right back to pretending you think it's an actual ballot.
Here's the first exchange where I corrected you and you say you understood:

However, when discussing opinion on the issue, it makes sense to ask you how you would vote on it on a ballot, to see what your opinion is, for or against the issue. It *could* be a ballot.
And I answered how I would vote on the hypothetical ballot, and when I called it hypothetical, I was told it was not hypothetical, but it was real.
See how you responded? You accept my point that asking you how you would vote is the same as asking you for your opinion on the issue. You knew it was 'hypothetical.
You claim it was *Tab* who was making the ballot in that exchange something else, with word games.
But then, let's see you later respond to Tab, clearly not referring to a literal ballot, in fact saying there is no literal ballot, with YOU pretending to think it must be a literal ballot:

I never said there was a ballot that made homosexuality illegal.
So then how could I vote on it?
To summarize, Tab asks you how you would vote, you try to de-rail things with demanding proof that there has been a vote historically doing this, I point out that he was asking your opinion by asking you how you would vote, you say you get it but it was Tab claiming there was a literal ballot, Tab responds that he has never said there was a literal ballot making homosexuality illegal, and you then bring the dishonest word games full circle by asking 'then how could you vote on it', pretending not to understand it's asking your opinion.
We could go in circles all day, with your question 'then how can you vote on it' being answered with 'asking how you would vote is a way of asking your opinion, there COULD be such a ballot', your claiming that you understand that but Tab made it literal, Tab saying he's not making it literal, and you then saying 'then how can you vote on it', answered by 'asking how you would vote is a way of asking your opinion, there COULD be such a ballot', ad infinitum.
You're simply not discussing the issue honestly, trolling at this point, and avoiding the issue of your bigotry in denying equal rights to gays.
