Summary of paragraph 175 (Society -Homophobia)
The summation of this paragraph is in reference to Buggery law. If a man and man were caught in a sexual act or any sexual position that can illicit a punishment of up to 10 years. Likewise sex between humans and animals are deemed punishable. Society back then were homophobic, now we are seeing a world in which many things deemed punishable back in those time periods are now readily accepted.
As this relates to Nihilism from a biblical/religious stance, a nihilist would not see anything wrong with sexual acts between two men. A nihilist doesn't care much about what the bible says or what society thinks is morally right. They would probably think life has no real meaning so everyone should be free to do whatever they want and with whomever they chose to and just live life.
I totally agree with your interpretation of paragraph 175, a nihilist would definitely not care about what someone does with their life since they have lost all faith in humanity and to the life is essentially meaningless.
