The years from '''1706''' to 1776 are, of course, the founding era of what became the United States, years that historian Jonathan Ned Katz calls "The Age of Sodomitical Sin." In the early years of this era, in these American colonies, the penalty for sodomy was death, and a number of executions are documented.  Why was sodomy, usually conceived of as anal intercourse between men, thought of as treason against the state, and punished so harshly? And what do we know of sexual and intimate relationships between women in these years? This exhibit presents or references all the original documents that Katz collected in his books ''Gay/Lesbian Almanac'' and ''Gay American History'', as well as evidence discovered since those publications.
