Amor Quote by Mário Saa
““A sodomia, ou homossexualismo, era um hábito atribuído aos judeus, e nisso se celebrisavam Sodoma e Gomôrra. Os antigos portuguezes, e mesmo nos séculos XVII e XVIII, associavam aos hebreus as mesmas tendências, e a cuja mistura de sangue atribuíam a diminuição do vigor dos luzitanos.””
