Michigan senate passes bill punishing anal sex with 15 years prison.
While the bill does not specifically target the gay community, that is the clear intention. The legislation outlaws anal sex completely:
A person who commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or with any animal is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for no more than 15 years.
If the person is found to a sexually delinquent person or an existing sex offender, they will face a life term in prison.
Twelve US states including Michigan have anti-sodomy legislation, even though the US Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional in the 2003 case Lawrence v. Texas.
