Sodomy laws date back to around the 2nd century, when the montheistic Christians began persecuting the Polytheistic Pagans (namely the Romans and the Celts) for their "inferior and sacreligious" beliefs.

Since the bible said that God said homosexuality and sodomy (which, incidentally, includes oral sex as well as anal sex) was bad, then the Christians began stoning to death anyone they caught or even suspected of engaging in homosexual acts.

So, the laws against homosexuality and sodomy have been on the books for quite some time.
