Well, there's male on female, male on male, female on female... so I really think the "great range" of human sexuality is rather limited. Since few have sex in public we're rarely certain what anyone's particular flavor is. What we do see is sexual adornment, attire, mannerisms, and all of that is mere expression, in essence, "play acting." We all cast impressions concerning our identity as a matter of personal politics, so it becomes a free speech issue really, and JQ Public is no longer permitted to censure. It all started in the 70s I think when the first butch dykes began to appear in high schools; by the 80s she had morphed into an inner city dyke that few recognized. And I think there was a lot of confusion surrounding this new creature, especially since she quite often had sex with males as well. The school I attended consisted of some 500 plus students in grades k - 12 and I never met a single homosexual, male or female, just that one butch dyke who caught the clap, go figure, which she gave to a handful of guys before her hysterectomy. Our class got along exceedingly well, no one was excluded, and there were no tensions or divides. I think what we have today is greater recognition but we also have greater social strife. And economically speaking that social strife, the subsequent loss of homogeneity, the inherent harmony, is detrimental to communities. Everybody knows this, and so we find things are much the same as they ever were.
Diversity is good. You have no right to force conformity on others.
This is why I say that "Republicans are zombies, Democrats are vampires" article is so scarily close to the truth. Conservatives, most Republicans want everyone to be a specific way, to conform completely.
