Andalusite -> RE: Men, anal sex, and accusations of being gay (4/4/2009 2:08:04 PM)

Emporor, maybe I should have said "taunting" instead of "accusing," but I can't go back and edit the OP. In any case "incorrectly claimed in a derogatory fashion" seems a little too wordy! It's not that homosexuality is a crime, or anything, but it's a little annoying to have people try to insist that you are something that you aren't (or aren't something that you are, for that matter). As to the historical accounts, there are plenty of documented atrocities that have occurred in war even in modern times, without eyewitness documentation, and often the victors try to cover things up. I doubt there was a formal ritual about the sodomy, if it happened, but there were plenty of times when the women of a town were raped in front of their men in order to humiliate both, before the men were killed. Those weren't necessarily documented by the winners, either. [8|] Thanks, porcelaine. :) Vanityfull, yeah, I've even had gay men (who you wouldn't think would care about it) and straight men claim that I can't be bisexual unless I like men and women equally well, or have done a particular sex act, or have a boyfriend and a girfriend simultaneously, or whatever. Some of them have also claimed that all bisexuals (including me) are greedy, slutty, indecisive, unable to make a commitment, etc., even though I was in a monogamous relationship at the time. Nobody argues with me that I can't be heteroflexible. [;)]
