본문내용

The great philosopher Socrates was well-known as a boy maniac. He once even said “the passion for a boy is a sacred feeling”(Song 72). As we can infer from his words, homosexuality was not regarded as a sin in his time. However, the Roman Catholic designated homosexuality as a sin right after it became a state religion of the Roman Empire. Since then, western civilization has named homosexuals as perverts, nonetheless, they existed throughout the history: From the Great Alexander to William Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky to Nightingale, Andy Warhol to Eleanor Roosevelt, and Freddy Mercury to Madonna(Sodomy pt.6.1). Those homosexuals pop up when asked to list some of the names and interestingly, they are all westerners. What is the reason of not hearing the names and histories of Asian homosexuals? Why is it so forbidden? Why is Korea still considered much conservative when it comes to homosexuality issues? It would be curious to find out how west and east have a different perspective on homosexuality.
