Society Homophobia


Reading the article Society Homophobia was interesting.  It showed how homosexuality was never as open as it is in today’s time.  Certain acts committed would be punishable by law. Meaning certain sexual acts were so illegal that if caught one could even be deadly punished.  It was totally unacceptable behavior, but we notice that this was during the rise of Hitler.   How it relates to the lecture is by simply one reason mentioned in the lecture…free will.  By not embracing the lifestyle, they were punishing the person’s preference, not allowing free will to run its course.  This is why singers in those days would perform not only men bashing type of songs, but would also dress in men’s suits and smoke cigarettes; giving the illusion of a woman being comfortable in their space.
