Question

DH Lawrence said greatness and homosexuality seem to go together. Was he right?

Answer 1

No, it's greatness and a preference for light green shirts.

Answer 2

I think he meant fabulousness. lol

Answer 3

No.

One assumes this is in reference to creativity.

In particular g*y men throughout history.

In other words someone who has the raw power creativity of male tempered by the sensitivity of female.

History is strewn with Homosexual/Bisexual masters of art. It's these people Lawrence is referring to. In that respect there have been a number of homosexual success stories.

But like anything, that's a generalisation to appeal to the romantics.

What about the pig-$hit dum homosexual who pi$$ed his life away in opium dens? Or blew his brains out while chasing the dragon. Or living in a world that deemed him and his action against god, hung himself from the rafters.

You can't declare an entire demographic 'great' on the actions of a 0.01% of it's populace. For every great homosexual sculptor there may well be another who lived in the gutter making animal sculptures out of his own faeces.

Just as you can't assume every Muslim is a potential suicide bomber. Or every Wife-beater wearing black man, a gun-toting Gangbanger.

So do greatness and homosexuality go together?

No more than greatness and hetrosexuality.

Answer 4

I think the proportion of homosexuals who have achieved greatness is very similar to that of heterosexuals. You must remember that DH Lawrence loved to be controversial.

Answer 5

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?

Answer 6

No.

Greatness means that your great and people look up to you,

From what I gather you have been going on too many naughty web sites.

Bad boy

lol
