A... psychological feature of the modern West complicating both the writing and reading of this study is the salient horror of homosexuality characteristic of the West since the fourteenth century. Although most societies have sexual taboos, and many of them apply to same-sex behavior (or even to all same-sex erotic activity), few, if any, other major cultures have made homosexuality - either as a general classification of acts according to gender or as an "orientation" - the primary singular moral taboo it has long been in Western "the sin that cannot be named," "the unmentionable vice," "the love that dare not speak its name." Those who have never had occasion to question this extraordinary prejudice, especially if they personally entertain reservations about homosexual acts, may have difficulty apprehending how remarkable this degree of revulsion actually is. -- (excerpt from Introduction)
