Let me just add this to my last blog on male homosexuality – it is not normal. The evolutionary process would have naturally doomed homosexuality due to the inability to procreate. Millions of species that once existed have vanished due to their inability to survive, only the species that were able to adapt survived.
Mother Nature constantly makes mistakes. I get a kick out of people that push their “intelligent design” theories against evolution. If they knew how many times their god fucked up in creating, they would not call him intelligent at all.
Homosexuals are able to survive without being able to procreate because they are produced by heterosexual couples as”accidents” of nature, at least as we understand it currently. With more study we may be able to add more information as to how this actually occurs in the human genome system.
As to male “homosexuality” through the ages; it is a fascinating study, one which I am still exploring. A few months ago, I wrote a blog about a history lecture I heard where this subject was addressed.
The professor stated quite plainly that our modern understanding of homosexuality was not the same as it was understood in history. Our understanding, at least mine, is that homosexuals are born with a genetic makeup that predisposes them to be attracted sexually to their own gender. This is hard-wired into their genes so even if they want to deny it and live heterosexually, the predisposition is still there and probably manifests itself in many other ways: style of dress, mannerisms, etc. – they are a mixture of male and female – a separate human entity.
Anyway, back to history. Yes, homosexuals existed then as always but society was very different then.
The predominating view was that females were inferior because they were seen as undeveloped or unformed males, i.e. no penis, no body hair, high voices, no muscles, weaker, etc. They saw creation as a straight line from left (dirt, rocks, animals…) till they came to females and then males who were the closest to god(s). They did not see females as a separate gender.
I know this is a hard concept to grasp but actually, I feel the concept still exists if you look at various religions where women are treated differently (Judaism, Islam…) and societies where men are prized much more than women (China, India…) to the point where girls are aborted on purpose just because a boy is what is wanted.
This is seriously messing with Mother Nature to the point where women are so scarce in these cultures that existing females are kidnapped because there are not enough of them for every male to marry – dumb shits.
Back to history; let’s take the ancient Greeks for example. Their social model accepted homosexual behavior but in a strict way. They could have sex with boys (unformed adult males) (pederasty) but not with other adult males – that was taboo – interesting?
These same adult males could have sex with adult male slaves but that was due to the “domination principle” which basically meant that the strong and powerful dominated the weak; the penetrators and the penetrated.
It was a custom on the battlefield that the victors did the vanquished; the ultimate conquest and insult.
Homosexual acts occurred as you can see but social condemnation was always against an adult male that allowed himself to be penetrated never against the penetrators.
Did homosexuals exist then – of course? Did they know they were homosexuals; I think they knew they liked men but married women as was the custom and had children. Did they meet other gays for sex – probably but I don’t know much about that – still learning.
I have not read anywhere about evidence that ancients thought of homosexuals as a distinct group of men; they were probably just married men that liked other men and were either in the closet or practicing but without condemnation.
I think the condemnation and the view we have today is a product of good ole’ Christianity and I will have something to say about that later…
