Which act is considered solicitation of sodomy?

The act that is considered solicitation of sodomy is proposing an act of sodomy to another. Solicitation involves actively encouraging or persuading someone to engage in a criminal act, and in this case, sodomy is the specific act being solicited. This entails more than just discussing or mentioning sodomy; it requires an explicit proposal directed to another person to participate in that act.

In contrast, merely discussing sexual acts in private relates to conversations that might not involve any encouragement to act upon those discussions. Similarly, encouraging someone to break a law does not specify which law or act is being solicited and may not necessarily relate to sodomy. Simply mentioning sodomy in conversation could refer to a casual reference without the implication of urging action. Therefore, it is the explicit proposal that characterizes solicitation, making it the focus of this criminal offense.
