@ KChill: Oh... I blame it on the interwebs--makes it difficult to figure out what tone people are writing in. It sounded like you were ridiculing the concept of a gay hero, which you say you weren't.
What I don't understand is this though: Why are you ok with Huang Yi level of detail for straight sex, but not for gay sex?
Now that's two questions I've thrown out for the SPCnet community to answer! (The other one was "Why do some people on this forum find gay heroes (in story or real life) inconceivable?")
lol, thanks for the share! Forgot to include the Sacred Band. The ancient Greeks thought that encouraging homosexuality in the army would be better for morale--they figured soldiers would fight harder if they were fighting for their lovers too (but what if they broke up with their lovers, or cheated on them...)
@ Jean: Yeah, that's what I've read too.
