Oh, Victims...?
The Buggery Act 1533, formally An Acte for the punishment of the vice of Buggerie (25 Hen. 8. c. 6), was an Act of the Parliament of England that was passed during the reign of Henry VIII.
It was the country's first civil sodomy law, such offences having previously been dealt with by the ecclesiastical courts.
The term buggery, not defined in the text of the legislation, was later interpreted by the courts to include only anal penetration and bestiality, regardless of the sex of the participants, but not oral penetration.[2] The act remained in force until it was repealed and replaced by the Offences against the Person Act 1828. Buggery remained a capital offence until 1861, though the last executions were in 1835.
The ultimate crime was the blackmail, daahlink, not the buggery.
Also, fuck Henry the VIII.

P.S. this one's for the children, but it's also a refresher for those in the back of the theater, just in case ...

capital offence? I thought only churches made this type of condemnation.
ReplyDeleteOh no.
DeleteIt was a capital offence. People's lives would be RUINED.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteI did not know that. But blow jobs were okay, eh? Well, maybe Henry liked those. LOL.
The lesson here is that all due caution must be taken. The wrong votes in Nov could put the LGBTQ community back into the 1800's - right alongside the women. XOXO
Henry was a giant dick.
DeleteAnd you know the Rich Gays think they're safe. Just wait until the Repugs come for their rights...
Conservatives want the faggots and the little women in their place: under their thumb.
XOXO
I'm surprised social conservatives haven't used gayness as one of the definitions of Wokeness.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh.
DeleteYou know that's why they have that loooooong list of banned books....
Most of the titles are LGBTQ+
XOXO

ReplyDeleteAre on the precipice of this happening again? Start with the books, then go for the individuals.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Yes, we are.
DeleteBut the Rich White Gays think they're safe. Just wait.
XOXO
I think blackmail would have been the worst of it because it never ends.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do like the terms, "buggered" and "buggery."
I'd like to take them back.
xoxo
I see and watch a lot of British shows that use the term buggery and bugger.
DeleteYou're right, Maddie. "Bugger off" is still something they say across the pond. xoxo
DeleteBlackmail was a nightmare. Can you IMAGINE the trauma????
DeleteAnd I like to get buggered....
XOXO
I don't think I ever recall knowing all this before, so I learned something today. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the past kings secretly got their cocks sucked by young male concubines.
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteSo glad to hear that! And you know that ALL THE COURTS were a cesspool of fuckery and buggery.
XOXO
It's amazing to me how ignorant our little gay children are... and how obnoxious they can become when you point out their freedom. Gay history is important. It's important to remember what we came from, what we survived. Sorry if it puts a damper on their Grindr fun, but seriously... just as schools need to include and educate regarding other oppressed people, so should they include gay history. It's not indoctrination... it's history.
ReplyDeleteOh, Upton.
DeleteYou have NO idea. Sometimes I feel that the generation gap is one hundred years instead of ten or fifteen. The Gaylings could surely use some brushing up with the history of those who came before them...
It IS history.
XOXO
