Despite what men suppose about themselves, that: no one (neither heterosexual, nor homosexual, nor bisexual) is truly responsible or accountable for his own actions, desires or aversions. The fictive Little Man (homunculus) inside our brains, usually envisioned as sitting just behind our eyes, who claims, or whom we suppose, to control us, does not exist: We will do what we will do, love what we love, and hate what we hate, regardless of whether we deem we ought, or ought not, to do so. In ceasing to make, or in forebearing from trying to make, male homosexuality and heterosexuality a matter of conscious choice or volition, we, the Societies of the West, have, in the view of the Third World societies of Asia, Central Asia (and Russia), and Africa, cut ourselves off from conscience itself, and, hence, from all morality. Those primitive cultures, you see, even as we used to do--and as hoary, conservative social institutions among us still do in places where the Enlightenment has not penetrated, such as Red States, and in places like Italy, where the Whore of Rome still holds sway--still believe in the power of the Little Man inside each of us to mold us, control us, and to hold before us the image of God (as revealed in their various "holy" scriptures) which they believe that we ought always to venerate. And so the Death of God, proclaimed so despairingly 150 years ago by Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, has culminated in the Death of God Within Us. And perhaps, with the excision of that moribund engrafted parasite, we shall witness the genesis of genuine universal consciousness (of which, of course, the free Internet is the prototype).
Note that I am careful to say nothing in this regard about women or Lesbians--because, for all I know, they commonly do not have, and never have had, fictive Little Men behind their eyes inside their brains. In fact, I very much doubt that they do or ever did. And it is not to be forgotten that women and Lesbians had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the free Internet, and that they are still maladroit and awkward users of it, and seem scarcely even yet to understand what it is.
