John Maynard Keynes was a homosexual, so who will ever claim that homosexuality makes one academically or even socially disabled. That does not mean that it is wrong, as is today so often claimed, to classify homosexual behavior as sexual deviance. Even in societies where, say pederasty, is social acceptable, it is circumscribed by well-defined rules of behavior. Socrates may have liked boys, but he never took one as a wife. One of his brightest students, Alcibiades, was scorned because he insisted on sleeping with grown men. In other words, bisexuality was normal, but not the behavior that one observes in San Francisco or "homosexual marriage." Since the purpose of marriage is to produce children, any Greek who stablished a household with his male lover would be regarded as an eccentric. Pederastic relationship had an educational function that--I dare say-homosexual scoutmasters would like to introducew to American society. But these ended when the "pupil" grew a full beard.

"John Maynard Keynes was a homosexual, so who will ever claim that homosexuality makes one academically or even socially disabled."

Not a good example, in my book.

Japan has been trying to pull themselves out of depression using Keynesian economics for about 15 years now, and it just keeps getting worse. Keynes' economic theories, IMO, were as disordered as his sexuality.

If only they had heard of Mises and Hayek...
