Steven Malcolm Anderson http://www.3dmdev.com/sma/blog/2003/09/03#Girl is really onto something here when he says:
I'm a girl. I must be a girl. Sex is spiritual. Told you.That was his conclusion after reading this:
Before the idea of homosexuality was invented (or discovered) by Viennese psychoanalyst, nobody was gay, as we now understand that term. Some men had sexual desires for other men, and some men had same-sex sex with men (although typically, as Dave Bianco points out, not as an exclusive choice). But the creation of what the Victorians called a "third sex" was a social construction, a stigmatized sexual identity, which had as much to do with anxieties about masculinity emerging as we entered the industrial revolution as anything else.Sex role tyrants dictated sex roles, then labeled those who did not conform as deviant. Said "deviants" then counter-reacted, giving rise to the gay movement. People keep reacting, and reacting, and reacting.
To what? To the sexual desires of other people. To For what end? Beats me; I have spent decades trying to figure out what the hell is going on. After I grew tired of reacting (like so many people), I started asking basic questions, and I came to realize the ancients were right, at least about sexuality.
