There is some irony to this history, as the term homosexual was first ed 1868 before the word “heterosexual” even existed. Homosexual was set opposn to the ia of a “normalsexual, ” a word which was later disrd for “heterosexual.
” This sire to study and fe sexual behavr further phed rearchers to “un-closet” the homosexual, all an effort to mystify a sexual inty that had long been ostracized and stigmatized but never really pned down through scientific quiry.
Woods says was most likely vented as a word play, referrg to a disanized and rmal work of gay men who aternized the 1930s, cludg the lik of poet W. Des later, “homtern” entered Cold War disurse, beg reappropriated by nspiracy theorists that exploed s munist associatn and claimed referred to a longstandg “ternatnal homosexual nspiracy” across the untry, whose one goal was to perate posns the Amerin ernment and urp tradnal Amerin valu of fay and heterosexualy.
