  • 8 Want to read

David F. Greenbergs valiant effort in achieving a homosexual histiology depicts the relevance of gay cultural history, it's general influence on what societies determine, and at times dictate what is the vital task of showing it's implications. The Construction of Homosexuality, begins with pre church history, which we find dating back to Egyptian, a modest leniency by Islamic Culture, and the Greco-Roman times, gay unions are described as a strong force in many initiation rites including those of marriage and schooling. When discussing the Church's affiliation it is commented that the over riding opinion is that the act is abominable, and at times indeed had been punishable by the death penalty. Yet as we progress into more stoical and classical terms the relationships of such figures as King Henry the Third, Felipe, Leonardo, and Michelangelo seem to show that under extreme cononditions homosexuality was somehow revered if not appreciated by those of a more artistic or gentrified cast in society, and that their crime of same sex conduct had been, like so many others shown not to be blasphemous without a verdict of guilty.This is not a piece of fiction and does not read like a poem. Yet the cycling of what is tolerated and what is viewed as humane describes a value thgat is more lenient to sexual conduct including homosexuality, and clearly determines what has lead to our present day values that; homosexuality is both genetic and generic in it's practice and relationship, and any strive to show progress in terms of liberating the sexual bondage attached to same sex unions comes from an inherent cultural, and counter cultural norm, that preside over those situation, circumstances and terms that are to be appreciated as being favorable.

Excerpts

Though possibly exaggerated for rhetorical purposes, the descriptions are too consistent to be dismissed as fictitious. They spotlight the spontaneous creation of an new social role based on the fusion of gender transformation and homosexuality. Effeminacy had previously been linked with male homosexuality in attacks on the vices of the aristocracy, but it was not an important element of the medieval conception of sodomy, or a common feature of urban male homosexuality in the middle ages or the Rennaissance.
