WE ARE NOT GAY!

” Some people’s doubts are further plited by havg such experienc as hearg other people talkg or lookg their directn and thkg that the people mt be analyzg their behavr or appearance and talkg about them – discsg how they mt be gay (or straight).

I have sometim wonred if those who experience the most distrs om such thoughts as the do so bee they were raised wh more strongly homophobic or anti-gay attus to beg wh, or if is simply bee one’s sexualy n be such a basic doubt. Lookg at attractive men or women, or pictur of them, or readg sexually oriented lerature or pornography (hetero- or homosexual), to see if they are sexually excg. The flip si of this is when they look at thgs havg to do wh sex of an oppose orientatn and then feel aroed some way, which they then nclu to mean that they liked , which means that they are gay (or straight).

His wi-rangg and prehensive article entled "Dover, Fouult and Greek Homosexualy: Peratn and the Tth of Sex", is origal, novative and thorough, profound and yet lightfully provotive.

THE GREEKS "WERE NOT REALLY GAY"

In his own words, Jam says he argu the article that the "'wham-bam-thank-you-Ma'am' peratn-obssed approach to sex, which the nsens ascribed to the Greeks was simply the morn approach to heterosexual acts drsed up ancient stume, that the evince that was adduced to monstrate that such an attu existed antiquy was very flimsy and based on prejudiced terpretatns of obscure isolated words and ambivalent imag, and that the whole notn that the ancient Greeks were to homosexual sex rather than homosexualy, was (paradoxilly) driven om the 1960s onwards by a sire to prove that the Greeks 'were not really gay'. If you have had romantic experienc or fantasi volvg people who are the same genr as you, then there is a good chance you are gay or bisexual, but 's okay if you're a ltle nfed.
