Backwards in time? Have you not read any Aristotle at all? Homosexuality was invented in the 20th century. Wilde was an Invert not a homosexual. The Greeks thought sex between the thighs of boys the ultimate pleasure. Maybe you are thinking of the late 1950s but who cares about a period in history that included lobotomy done like there was no tomorrow?

Jacx Czech response to criticism of bizarre test of gay asylum seekers "not good enough" The Czech Republic has been criticised over their response to international outrage at their use of a so-called 'gay test' on gay asylum seekers. Called 'phallometric testing', gay men - and according to De Spiegel at least one lesbian - are shown pornography and a machine is used to supposedly 'prove' whether of not they are gay.
