This article traces the journey of the LGBT community from 1533 to today,
looking at the battles for equality that were fought and legislative
changes made.

The Buggery Act of 1533, passed by Parliament during the reign of Henry
VIII, is the first time in law that male homosexuality was targeted for
persecution in the UK. Completely outlawing sodomy in Britain � and by
extension what would become the entire British Empire � convictions were
punishable by death.

Let's get that act passed in every country in the world!

Only rightists bugger children.

DeSantis passed laws protecting religious pedophiles because he needs to
protect his buddies.

Southern Baptist Convention sex abuse list includes at least 30 from N.C.
By Charles Duncan North Carolina
PUBLISHED 2:30 PM ET May 31, 2022

A list of sex abuse cases involving people connected to Southern Baptist
churches includes at least 30 names from North Carolina.

The list has numerous redactions, so there could be more preachers,
teachers and volunteers from North Carolina on the list released last
week. The Southern Baptist Convention released the list following a
damning investigation by the Houston Chronicle.

The list includes more than 700 details on people associated with the
church accused or convicted of sex crimes. The crimes include molesting
children, rape and soliciting prostitutes.

�This list is being made public for the first time as an initial, but
important, step towards addressing the scourge of sexual abuse and
implementing reform,� Southern Baptist Convention CEO Willie McLaurin and
executive committee chair Rolland Slade said in a joint statement.

�Each entry in this list reminds us of the devastation and destruction
brought about by sexual abuse. Our prayer is that the survivors of these
heinous acts find hope and healing, and that churches will utilize this
list proactively to protect and care for the most vulnerable among us,�
they said.

An investigation into abuse allegations by Guidepost Solutions criticized
the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee. Abuse survivors,
the report said, were �met, time and time again, with resistance,
stonewalling, and even outright hostility from some within the EC.� Church
leaders were more concerned about avoiding legal liability, according to
the report.

�In service of this goal, survivors and others who reported abuse were
ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could
take no action due to its polity regarding church autonomy � even if it
meant that convicted molesters continued in ministry with no notice or
warning to their current church or congregation,� the report said.

The company that compiled the report for the Southern Baptist Convention
set up a hotline for survivors to report abuse and get help: 202-864-5578
or SBChotline@guidepostsolutions.com.

Here�s the list and details on each person with North Carolina
connections, provided by the Southern Baptist Convention:
