Males Do Not Represent Two Discrete Populations,

The History Of Medicine Proves That In So Far As Man Seeks To Know Himself And Face His Whole Nature, He Has Become Free From Bewildered Fear, Despondent Shame, Or Arrant Hypocrisy. As Long As Sex Is Dealt With In The Current Confusion Of Ignorance And Sophistication, Denial And Indulgence, Suppression And Stimulation, Punishment And Exploitation, Secrecy And Display, It Will Be Associated With A Duplicity And Indecency That Lead Neither To Intellectual Honesty Nor Human Dignity.

Art Alone Develops Weaklings, Science Alone, Monsters. Somewhere, Somehow, We Must Combine The Two.

It Is Amazing To Observe How Many Psychologists And Psychiatrists Have Accepted This Sort Of Propaganda, And Have Come To Believe That Homosexual Males And Females Are Discretely Different From Persons Who Respond To Natural Stimuli. Instead Of Using These Terms As Substantives Which Stand For Persons, Or Even As Adjectives To Describe Persons, They May Better Be Used To Describe The Nature Of The Overt Sexual Relations, Or Of The Stimuli To Which An Individual Erotically Responds.

The Very General Occurrence Of The Homosexual In Ancient Greece, And Its Wide Occurrence Today In Some Cultures In Which Such Activity Is Not Taboo Suggests That The Capacity Of An Individual To Respond Erotically To Any Sort Of Stimulus, Whether It Is Provided By Another Person Of The Same Or Opposite Sex, Is Basic In The Species.

If All Persons With Any Trace Of Homosexual History, Or Those Who Were Predominantly Homosexual, Were Eliminated From The Population Today, There Is No Reason For Believing That The Incidence Of The Homosexual In The Next Generation Would Be Materially Reduced. The Homosexual Has Been A Significant Part Of Human Sexual Activity Since The Dawn Of History, Primarily Because It Is An Expression Of Capacities That Are Basic In The Human Animal.
