Just a random thought. But in all the books I have read outside of a school setting about US history or anything even similar I have never heard the mention of a homosexual indian. Were there gay indians? Were there openly gay indians? If there wasn't gay indians what started homosexuality? I mean this sounds like a funny question to ask but it could have some merit on the seeds of homosexuality being sociological or psychological and this whole line of questioning comes from a stupid joke I heard a week ago. Discuss.

Shamans were sometimes gay. Some tribes had recognition of guys that were thought of as both men and women. They were thought to have special insight into the spirit world, I guess like Tiresias in Greek legend.

Who was Tiresias again? I just remember him being the one to tell Oedipus that he did in fact kill his father and marry his mother. The Greeks were sick.

My memory could be better, but I recall him as the blind seer who could see the future and had better insight not only because he was blind, but also because he had been both a man and a woman, and wound up a hermaphrodite. I don't remember anything else about him except he cropped up in a T.S. Eliot poem, The Wasteland, I think, and supposedly said sex was better as a woman.

[/ QUOTE ] He was an old seer, who was turned into a woman when he killed a female snake having sex. Some years and adventures later, he was turned back into a man after killing the male of another set of snakes. As one of the only people to be a man and a woman, Zeus, to settle a dispute with Hera, asked him who enjoyed sex more, men or women. He told the truth: women, and was blinded by Hera. For fun, read Plato's Phaedo some time. |

I'm pretty sure the Indian in the Village People was gay.
