It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It dictates and pervades great works of art like those of Shakespeare and Michelangelo, and those two letters of mine, such as they are. It is in this century misunderstood, so much misunderstood that it may be described as the \"Love that dare not speak its name,\" and on account of it I am placed where I am now. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it. It is intellectual, and it repeatedly exists between an elder and a younger man, when the elder man has intellect, and the younger man has all the joy, hope and glamour of life before him. That it should be so, the world does not understand. The world mocks at it and sometimes puts one in the pillory for it.”",

There are many mammals (including us) that practice this very misunderstood natural biological protective mechanism; which is (in fact) inherently programmed into our genetics due to hormone's that are randomly switched at birth. if a male is possessing female hormones, or a female is possessing male hormones; they're logically going to be attracted to their own sex, because its actually (due to the hormonal-switch) their exact opposite-sex. Genetic dispositions are not ( in my opinion) mutations at all; so its logical to ascertain that non pro-creators are as normal as pro-creators themselves. So scientifically and psychologically speaking its as natural as its heterosexual counterpart. - Johnny Luckett",

Not the Cowardly Lion, but Bert Lahr. 'Oh, my gosh, no waaaay?' You stall, trying to think of something more substantial to say. 'Is everyone, like, freaking out? What a… wow.”",
