As a side note, in the "true love" sense some cultures have placed great
value in homosexuality.  Early classical Greek culture, for instance,
valued homosexual relations with an elder man and a young boy.  The
relationship was not strictly sexual;  the older man was in some sense
also a tutor and mentor for the boy.  The Greeks felt this was a more "pure" 
love than a man's love for a woman. (There is some really amusing Greek
poetry about this subject, by the way.  Also, in some of Plato's dialogues
there are some eye-opening references to this practice).

Hey, that was a pretty innocuous posting.
