@RexRed,
I have it decoded Rex. It is not to your liking though.
What is "progress"? Have you heard of Hutber's Law?
One martyr can't change the world unless a legend is created around the event.
Latta is a town in which, according to Wiki, for every 100 females there were 74.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 68.3 males. In 1 square mile. Phew!!!
One might well not be surprised at anything in such strange circumstance?
But I am glad your faith in humanity has been "kinda" reinforced. The story kinda undermined mine and it was already a bit frail. The greatest advantage of homosexuality is that its tendency is to wipe out humanity. It thriving on the back of widespread heterosexuality is a bit parasitical.
Look what I found with my in depth research for the purpose of answering your post with respect---
Quote:A passage from Gertrude Stein's Miss Furr & Miss Skeene (1922) is possibly the first traceable published use of the word to refer to a homosexual relationship. According to Linda Wagner-Martin (Favored Strangers: Gertrude Stein and her Family (1995)) the portrait, "featured the sly repetition of the word gay, used with sexual intent for one of the first times in linguistic history," and Edmund Wilson (1951, quoted by James Mellow in Charmed Circle (1974)) agreed. For example:
They were ...gay, they learned little things that are things in being gay, ... they were quite regularly gay.
—Gertrude Stein, 1922
