I couldn’t help but chuckle when reading some court decisions from the 1970s and 80s for my criminal law class. The use of language is telling.
Forced sex between a man and a woman is called, obviously, “Rape.”
Forced sex between a man and another man (in prison) is called, interestingly, “Unwanted homosexual conduct.”
Hmmm….

This must be one of those rights above and beyond what straight people have that us gays were protesting for.
Turns out we had it the whole time.
Good catch. Yes, you must be onto something. All these ‘special rights’ we’ve just failed to notice. I suppose we should be ashamed of ourselves.
