Yeah, I thought that was weird. But they also specify that they've been working hard to make it legal for men to have sex with men, because apparently lesbians aren't gay.
Of course. Women have never been supposed to enjoy sex, so lesbians are just *friendly*. In a lot of cultures, lesbians are married to men, and happen to be very close with another woman. Nothing gay about that. ;)
When men can't imagine women liking sex, the concept of women pleasuring each other sexually is impossible to comprehend.
They wouldn't have made forced gay sex legal. They would have made forced gay sex not carry a second charge and a greater punishment (with a MUCH lower burden of proof) than forced straight sex.
It's a "partial victory" because the law still isn't the same for gays and straights. But it's a step in the direction of civilisation.
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination."
and
Leviticus 20:13 = "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Neither of which mentions woman on woman sex.
Apparently, Big Daddy JHVH had no problem with hot lesbian sex.
These laws were apparently on the books for 150 years, which means they're British Empire laws, not Indian laws. Which makes the Christians entirely relevant.
