    I’m not sure of the specific details, but his guy I knew got kicked out of Israel for sodomy. Somehow our school found out and he was forced to resign from the Student Council President position.

      Any idea what year this was? Israel had “buggery” laws on the books up until the late 1980s, which I believe classified any homosexual acts as “sodomy”.

        2001 I think. I don’t know if this person actually had to leave for legal reasons, either because he broke a bad law or because he was facing real sex crimes allegations, or because he violated a taboo and was chased out. The rumor, as I heard it, was that he was in the middle of a consensual encounter with a young woman when he decided to try some butt stuff and then authorities got involved somehow. I remember him apologizing to the council and resigning, and I distinctly remember that he omitted the reason for it all, as if we all already knew. The rumor didn’t make it to me until later.
