"activists" like Tatchell
Give the man his due, he's taken some risks over his anti- Mugabe protests, I might not agree with everything he stands for but in the case of Peter v Uncle Bob he gets my vote.

In Plato's Republic he set out an ordered list of human relationships based on the idea of forming a social hierarchy. And what was at the top? Homosexuals.
To be fair Tablet, as he was bi himself, and according to some sources only maintained liaisons with his wife to propagate the blood line, he's hardly going to say any different is he?

Read a bit about just how widespread and accepted homosexuality was in ancient times and discovered a bit where the men of (I think) Sparta had to get blind drunk before they could bring themselves to pleasure the ladies - bit like Norwich on Grab-a-granny night
