Given that some practice contraception under medical advice for short periods in order to maximize the number of children they have over the long term, the evident absurdity of Sullivan's fabricated definition increases.

Exactly, thank you. Taking a pill is not an aberrant sexual practice. Contraception is not the sine qua non of sodomy. Sullivan had to redefine sodomy for his argument... and apparently won the debate. Pathetic.
sod·om·y [sod-uh-mee] noun 1. anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex. 2. copulation with a member of the same sex. 3. bestiality ( def 4 ) .
Wilson on Sodomy wrote: A key point was made when Sullivan stated that the Pill made same-sex marriage possible. He went on to say that 99.9% of sexual encounters between heterosexuals (both married and unmarried) in America is contracepted sex. In fact, he said this is the definition of sodomy: having a sexual encounter while specifically avoiding pregnancy. Thus, he said, "We're all sodomites now." Although Wilson gave it his all to respond to this and other tough points, Sullivan clearly won the debate.
Wilson must have been poor if Sullivan won the debate with such incoherent argumentation. His argument, as you report it, hinges on his redefinition of sodomy - which is simply incorrect.
