Well, the "gay" theme seem to almost always be a popular aspect of history...
Anyway, homosexuality isn't exactly something that's new. It seemed to have been quite a common phenomenon among the ancient Greeks. Anyway, speaking of all these repressed homosexual tendencies thing, there's an article that you can find over HERE about T.E. Lawrence and the rumour about him being a closet homosexual. It seems to have stemmed from the fact that he could write about being raped.
Sigh, does that mean that once a guy rapes another guy, the two must be non-heterosexuals?
If you folks had watched American History X, you'd notice that guys seem to get raped in prison but the rape itself has nothing to do with lust. Rape is a form of punishment that you inflict upon another to strip him of his dignity. I think male rape victims can actually wind up being more traumatised than female ones. It's sad, really.

Definitely. Anyway, the article refutes claims that he is gay but merely a guy who was brave enough to confront his fears and trauma by writing publicly about his experiences. Unfortunately, he was obviously a little too ahead of his times. No SNAGs welcomed in the early 20th century.
