A History of Anti-Sodomy and Anti-Homosexual Laws in the US

I read an interesting article discussing William Eskridge's book "Dishonorable Passions." The article summarizes Eskridges history of anti-sodomy laws and their ridiculousness and selectiveness. Eskridge discusses how Americans always have needed some boogey man to be afraid of, and now they have turned their attention to homosexuals/gay marriage to fill that void. The article (and book) is a good read and is worth checking out.
