=Homosexualism Is Love, Negative Love=, quite as involuntary and
as obsessive as normal, heterosexual, positive love.
A homosexual teacher wrote to Plazek: "A glance at the literature and
art produced by homosexuals as well as insight into actual conditions,
reveals that abnormal love can conjure up the same emotional display as
normal love. Longing, faithfulness, devotion, self sacrifice, blossom
forth in abnormal love as well as in normal love.
"In both, complete communion may be the goal and climax of feelings
which are perhaps among the deepest and finest which mankind can
experience."
=Their Love Letters.= The absolute similarity of heterosexual and
homosexual love in their written expression can be judged by perusing
the sonnets which Michael Angelo wrote to young Tommaso dei Cavalieri
and which could very well have been addressed to a woman.
A sober scientist like Winckelman was carried away by his homosexual
love for Frederick von Berg to the point of writing the following
epistle which might emanate from a lovelorn highschool boy:
"All the names I might call you are not sweet enough and do not do
justice to my love. All the things I might say to you sound too weak
to give voice to my heart and my soul. I love you, my dearest, more
than the whole world and neither time nor circumstances nor age could
ever cause my love to diminish."
=Deeds of Violence.= Homosexual love has led to as many deeds of
violence on the part of disappointed lovers as heterosexual love. The
papers frequently publish without comments stories of the shooting of
a woman by another woman, caused by the fact that the victim was "too
attentive to another woman."
Psychiatrists who can read between the lines recognise in those murders
the result of homosexual jealousy and infidelity.
In that respect the behavior of the two sexes seems slightly different.
"It is well known," remarks Havelock Ellis, "that the part taken
by women generally in open criminality, and especially in crimes
of violence, is small as compared with men. In the homosexual the
conditions are to some extent reversed. Inverted men, in whom a more
or less feminine temperament is so often found, are rarely impelled to
acts of aggressive violence, though they frequently commit suicide.
Inverted women, who may retain their feminine emotionality combined
with some degree of infantile impulsiveness and masculine energy,
present a favorable soil for the seeds of passional crime, under those
conditions of jealousy and allied emotions which must so often enter
the invert's life."
