:The term "gay" likewise has an interesting history. It begins with [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]'s 19th century book, ''The Gay Science''. Many decades later Hollywood produced a film entitled ''The Gay Divorcee''. By the 1960s gays "came out of the closet" and admitted that the word "gay"  was a codeword dropped in casual conversation for nearly a hundred years to feel out a person if they were susceptible to [[homosexual]] advances (facilitated by the "intellectual", academic, and popular culture references to the book or film).

:What is remarkable about the Lesbian-Gay Alliance ({later the LGBT alliance} is, it normalized people with underlying psychological problems. Lesbians who refused to identify as "gay", suffer from the same irrational underlying fear and psychological maladies that they accuse [[homophobe]]s of. Only in the case of the larger hetero community, what was once a psychiatric disorder was decriminalized, whereas many in the LGBT movement and their "straight" allies seek to criminalize what is by definition a psychological disorder.
