homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with its own bisexuality.
but finding this difficult, and preferring not to admit it, it invented a pariah state,
a leper colony for the incorrigible whose very existence, when tolerated openly, was admonition to all. we queers keep everyone straight as whores keep matrons virtuous.
