This is hilarious. Naomi Wolf wrote an entire book to scold Britain for its past practice of executing men because they committed the crime of sodomy (because they were gay).

But in this interview she learns that the executions she claims occurred probably did not occur because she did not understand the legal term of sentence passed on them.

In the British court records, the term "death recorded" shows up over and over again in cases of sodomy and Wolf assumed it meant the sentence of death was carried out and their "death was recorded."

But it turns out that the term DID NOT mean a death sentence was carried out.

It turns out "death recorded" means that the sentence was imposed BUT NOT carried out because the state wanted to AVOID executing the men convicted.

So, she attacks Britain for executing gays when Britain did not execute gays at all!

She is confronted about this in an interview and it is totally hilarious:
