There is a standing conflict between the covenantal vision of the family signified by circumcision and the Sodomite vision of sexuality. In Kahn's view, Sodom present “a vision of the pornographic as a representation of a kind of political freedom. . . . The homosexual appears here as paradigmatic of an affirmative reading of the body as the source of its own meanings, and thus a denial of the covenant.” It is a denial of the covenant because homosexuality asserts “completeness within the body.”
