Prs verage brought the existence of homosexualy to the foreont of the llective nscns a way that turned out to be both threateng and enablg to homosexuals: threateng bee sndal uld happen to any of them, but enablg bee gave them accs to rmatn about the homosexual muny a world where was rarely oute of this sense that homosexual people existed large numbers while still remag more or ls visible to the naked eye was the spicn that when they got together they were likely to engage somethg more, somethg even worse than the dulgg of a perversn.
