The gay community has a long history and it is documented culturally worldwide. In fact, as long as we have had a record of men, we have a record of homosexual men. While political and religious institutions attempt to eradicate our legacy and deny our constant and consistent presence we remain firmly entrenched. Literature, sculpture, painting, drawing, music, philosophy, drama, comedy, science and religion have all drawn upon the enormous talents and resources of our small but persistent community. The site, Androphile.org, The World History of Male Love, which I have linked to mine,(see Links sidebar) is a marvel of riches and documents our numerous contributions to the recorded societies of some three thousand years. This is a vastly important and fundamental exemplar of tradition, for it is tradition, as viewed by some, that supposedly limits our inclusion and equality in society legitimately.
