Thanks for taking the time to write that. It certainly does "capture the whole social reshaping of male homosexuality that has occurred in my lifetime". I think it's also a great concrete example of how social mores in general reshape themselves over time. Without realising it, we are all (or almost all) trapped within the slowly changing social expectations. Our younger selves held different beliefs to what we today believe. Issues of race, feminism and the environment spring to mind immediately. I'm sure they are countless others. A post to save. Thanks again. |
