"The four political virtues: Wisdom Temperance Courage Justice Sounds like our politicians could use a lot of that right about now. Especially the first two. *smile* You know who wrote it? Plato"

Plato push for homosexuality among troops. http://members.aol.com/matrixwerx/glbthistory/plato.htm

Please don't tell me Plato was gay, too! Abe Lincoln, now Plato! I am crushed!

And then? Homosexuality far predates us... it didn't change anything about his teachings that remain true to this day. And in the Ancient World, homosexuality was practiced open and freely. Funny, we all still came into being.

Why does being gay automatically discount something, because you don't like it? How does it change the fact that the four virtues of politics are taught and challenged to this day? I'm sorry, but I'm not among the classic conservative homophobe stance. I love too many of them to be as such.
