"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...

Right or wrong, Keynes was a very bright lad, and his standing shows that "homophobia" was extinct in England by his generation. George Orwell commented in 1947 that it no longer required bravery for someone to identify himself as homosexual.
