The notes argue there is no such thing as LGBT — only three distinct types of men who have sex with men: queers (Marxist communitarians who wage war on hierarchy), faggots (regime-loyal trade-respectability-for-protection types), and cocksuckers (men who just fuck dudes and don't make a big deal of it). The author places himself with the cocksuckers and frames gay male life through a Greco-Roman classical-aristocrat lens rather than identity politics. In that frame, sex among men is sport on the hierarchy of beauty, separate from emotional property and dynastic obligation; the male partnership is a spiritual brotherhood by adoption, not a marriage. Trans / queer culture is read as the imposition of female social values (rules, kink, control) onto male sexual expression — repressing male will. A sharper recent move reframes the traditional vices of porneia and sodomy as a single spiritual state of instrumentalization rather than a catalog of acts, with eros-philos-agape directed at a particular person as the constructive counterpart. Living with Xavier is the autobiographical embodiment of this Hellenized model.
No such thing as LGBT — the queers / faggots / cocksuckers triad
The decomposition (raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md, raw/keep/queers-fags-and-cocksuckers.md):
"There is no such thing as a homosexual or a heterosexual… The LGBTQIA+ supporter is on the losing end of the genetic lottery and instead of choosing an appropriate slot in the hierarchy they chose to recreate their identity within a communitarian ideology that rejects all hierarchies." —
raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md
The argument: homosexual identity exists only because there is a homophobe to oppress it. Remove the homophobe and the identity dissolves into mere behavior. What remains is three structurally distinct types:
| Type | Stance | Historical examples |
|---|---|---|
| Queers | Marxists who instrumentalize sex against mainstream norms | Stonewall vanguard; queer-theory academics; ACT UP at its most performative |
| Faggots | Trade unquestioning loyalty to a power structure for protection | "Nazi faggots, liberal faggots, communist faggots" — the regime-collaborator type |
| Cocksuckers | Just guys who fuck dudes and don't care about making it a big deal | Most of male history before 1969 |
"Finally there are cocksuckers. These are just guys who fuck dudes and don't really care about making a big deal about it. History is full of cocksuckers." —
raw/keep/queers-fags-and-cocksuckers.md
The political payoff: oppression comes from queers destabilizing society and faggots envying the unsubjugated. Cocksuckers are unobjectionable. The author identifies as a cocksucker.
The classical frame: sex as sport on the hierarchy of beauty
The Greco-Roman read of male sexuality (raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md, raw/keep/evolution-and-women.md):
- Classical aristocrats had "infinite and unfettered access to a wide variety of sexual experiences," structured by status, capacity, and economy rather than identity.
- Sex among men was sport on the hierarchy of beauty — exploration and innovation, not emotional property.
- Christianity took its sexual morality from the Jewish side, not the Hellenic. Roman democratization and Christianization later imposed monogamous heterosexual marriage as the popular standard.
- The rule-based, monogamy-enforcing matriarchal frame is Jewish in origin; the exploratory, status-organized frame is Greek.
The author's preference is the Hellenic. This is not a libertine claim — it is structural: sex among men in the classical frame doesn't carry the dynastic-property weight of Christian heterosexual marriage, so the moral grammar is different. Apply Christian monogamy norms to gay-male partnerships and you get a category error.
Spiritual brotherhood by adoption
The Sacred Band frame as civilian model (raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md, raw/keep/gay-men-s-course.md):
"More traditional Greco-Roman style culture creates a relationship of spiritual brotherhood by adoption between two men… Sexual activity gets relegated to a kind of sport or competition that lives comfortably on the hierarchy of beauty while having nothing to do with emotional property and more to do with spiritual or metaphysical connections between people." —
raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md
The Theban Sacred Band — pairs of warrior-lovers who fought as a unit — is the historical archetype the corpus does not name explicitly but is structurally invoking. The civilian descendant is two men as adopted brothers owning shared domestic customs, traditions, and household practices, with sexuality available as sport rather than as the load-bearing element.
Operating defaults from raw/keep/gay-men-s-course.md:
- Candid, connected, consensual — the gay-men-course's three-c rule, structurally parallel to the Christian "controlled, connected, consensual" of
raw/keep/sodomy.md. Sodomy / porneia in Christian tradition isn't about the act but about incontinence, instrumentalization, and exploitation of the weak. - 99% / DADT / open with rules and discussion — the realistic monogamy setting for two men, since no heirs and no inter-generational property are at stake.
- Worship of a transcendent third — the partnership is held together by a shared orientation toward something beyond either partner (the Holy Spirit; truth; a project; a child).
Porneia and sodomy as state, not act
The Christian "controlled, connected, consensual" frame from raw/keep/sodomy.md now joins a sharper recent formulation (raw/inbox/2026-05-07t13-18-47-932z-porneia-and-zahah-as-sexual-idolatry-and-instumentalization-.md). The traditional catalog of fornication acts is read as a material approach that misses the spiritual point.
- Porneia — the Greek word for selling yourself for sex. The modern parallel is the pornstar: a transactional sexual exchange, legal but socially viewed negatively because it instrumentalizes the body.
- Zahah — the Hebrew parallel: someone (mostly a woman, since Leviticus explicitly forbade male prostitution) who exchanges sexual favors for goods or money outside marriage. The modern parallel is the Insta-thot and fly-out economy: not literal prostitution, but a transactional structure dressed in social or affectionate vocabulary.
What unifies them is not the act but the state of mind: sexual activity divorced from spiritual and creative energy, reduced to material exchange. Fornication is not an act on a list; it is a sinful state of mind — the absence of any spiritual and creative energy in sexual activity. The corollary the author states bluntly:
"Sodomy is a state of being, not a list of forbidden acts."
This sharpens the gay-men's course's "candid, connected, consensual" rule into something more theologically precise. The three Cs are not a softer modern substitute for traditional morality; they are an operational test for whether the relationship is organized around eros-philos-agape (the constructive state) or around porneia/zahah (the deformed state). The acts are downstream of the state. The moral grammar applies symmetrically to heterosexual transactional arrangements: the finance-husband cuck-economy and the Oreo-wife aesthetic (sex-gender-family) are themselves expressions of sodomy as state. The diagnosis cuts across the heterosexual/homosexual distinction the regime uses to organize identity politics.
Eros, philos, agape: the modern recovery as classical taxonomy
The same capture offers a constructive reading of two modern sexual identities the corpus would otherwise be expected to reject as queer-theoretical:
- Pansexual — anyone is capable of being sexually attractive, and that attractiveness results from a combination of physical, emotional, and spiritual attributes rather than from material identity alone.
- Demisexual — the inverse: the capacity to feel sexual attraction comes from that same combination of physical / emotional / spiritual attributes.
Held together, these terms recover what the ancient Greeks knew as a compound of eros, philos, and agape — desire, friendship, and self-giving — directed at one person. At its most noble, the feeling is "motivated by admiration and a sense that the other person completes you or provides some missing pieces to an ideal relationship you might share with each other." The modern vocabulary, properly read, combines desire, friendship, familiarity, mutuality, playfulness, pragmatism, and self-respect into connection and respect made more important than satisfying basic drives.
This supplies the constructive counterpart to the porneia/zahah state. The opposite of sexual idolatry is not abstinence but eros-philos-agape directed at a particular person. For the Hellenized male partnership the author endorses, this is precisely what the "spiritual brotherhood by adoption" structure is meant to enable: a relation organized around admiration and complementarity, with sexual activity as one expression among others rather than as the load-bearing element. The "transcendent third" is what keeps the compound from collapsing into eros alone (which becomes porneia) or into philos alone (which becomes ordinary friendship without erotic charge).
The author's willingness to credit pansexual/demisexual as classical-taxonomy recoveries sits alongside his sustained rejection of LGBT as political identity. The distinction holds: the concepts name something real about how attraction works (the eros-philos-agape compound); the identity politics built on top of them remains the queer move the corpus condemns. This is the same distinction the article makes elsewhere between cocksucker behavior (unobjectionable) and queer identity (Marxist instrumentalization).
Trans / queer as feminization of male sexuality
The structural critique (raw/keep/evolution-and-women.md, raw/keep/trans-queer.md):
"The goal of the gay movement is to feminize the sexual activity expression between men and thereby control it for the purpose of social stability. The gay liberation movement is nothing but the imposition of female social values on male sexual expression. It is neither gay nor liberating but rather a tragic and oppressive force for the repression of male energy." —
raw/keep/evolution-and-women.md
The argument:
- Natural male sexual expression is an act of will.
- Natural female sexual expression is an act of control.
- Kink and rules are female in nature — they place limits, stage performances, structure compliance.
- The gay liberation movement, monogamy norms, and trans ideology all express the same thing: female social values (rules, control, performative compliance) imposed on male sexuality to bring it under matriarchal management.
This is not a complaint about women. It is a structural claim: the contemporary "queer" movement reads as feminizing because it substitutes rules and identities for the will-driven exploration that the Greco-Roman frame preserved.
Paglia's frame: Greco-Roman vs. Judeo-Christian sexual morality
Camille Paglia is the deepest theoretical layer (raw/keep/camille-paglia.md):
- Sky-cult vs. earth-cult — masculine projection vs. feminine immanence.
- Phallic projection — the male drive to impose order on chaos; the penis as "linearity, focus, aim, directedness."
- "Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature."
- "There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper."
- The masculine drive is to impose order and beauty on chaos; the feminine drive is to manage and contain. Both are real; civilizations need both; collapsing one into the other ("the gay liberation movement") destroys the productive tension.
Christianity is read as a Hellenic-Jewish hybrid that took its civilizational architecture from the Greek side and its sexual morality from the Jewish side — which is why the Christian frame can support the political-aesthetic project the author endorses while imposing sexual norms he rejects for his own life.
Living the model: AIDS, Xavier, and the better deal
The autobiographical layer the corpus carries openly (raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md):
"In a more Hellenized world I'd be married to a woman and hang out with the boys at the baths fucking for fun. The biggest thing that made me chose the path I did was the social difficulty of having sex with men during the AIDS crisis while dating women… Xavier is a better deal and I love him." —
raw/keep/no-such-thing-as-lgbt.md
The structure of the choice:
- Hellenized straight marriage was unworkable in the actual conditions of the late 20th century. AIDS made cross-orientation dating socially fraught. A wife in that frame would have had to accept a sexual deal she had no reason to accept.
- A male partnership solves the problem — the partner already lives in the same sexual regime; no asymmetric demand on a spouse.
- Xavier is a better deal in the practical sense: no dynastic-property monogamy obligation, no risk of divorce-court asset destruction, full alignment on the Hellenized lifestyle.
The Xavier High School essays (raw/keep/xavierhs-questions.md, raw/keep/marc-high-school.md) deploy a classical Christian ideal of masculinity — the Holy Spirit, sacrifice, civic virtue — for a son's formation. The same author who lives the Hellenic male partnership wants the classical-Christian masculine ideal for his children. These are not contradictions; the Hellenic-Christian hybrid is consciously held.
Effeminacy, masculinity, and the Playboy/Twunk aesthetic
The author treats effeminacy as a real category, not a taboo word. From raw/keep/big-lies.md, "Gays are just as masculine as straight guys" is listed as one of the four big lies of egalitarian liberalism, alongside the equivalent claims about race, ethnicity, and women.
The corollary is the Playboy/Twunk project (raw/keep/playboy-twunk.md): a proposed gay men's lifestyle magazine that explicitly opposes the corporate-Memphis "queer Daddy" aesthetic and the alphabet-people commercial register, in favor of:
- Masculinity + spirituality as joint subject.
- Fitness, style, athleticism, hobbies, friendships as the substantive content.
- Worship of a transcendent third as the structuring axis.
- "How to be gay without being weak and feminine."
The exception (a masculine, classical, spiritually serious gay-male life) is the project. The rule (gay men are on average less masculine than straight men) is conceded as descriptive, not opposed normatively.
The finance-cuck contrast
A backhanded illustration of the thesis (raw/keep/banking-is-full-of-unfuckable-finsubs.md, raw/keep/manhood-and-the-faggotry-of-finance.md):
The contemporary straight banker — finance husband to compliance-officer wife, performing submission to mommy / regulator / wife in exchange for the lifestyle — is read as more "faggot" than the Hellenized cocksucker. The argument: the modern straight male, surrendered to female-coded structures of approval and compliance, is closer to the queer / faggot pole than the cocksucker is. The Hellenized male partnership preserves more male will than the suburban financier marriage. Under the state-not-act frame, the finance-cuck household is itself an expression of sodomy as state: a relation organized around transactional instrumentalization rather than eros-philos-agape directed at the spouse.
Standing problems and gaps
- No explicit "Sacred Band" reference in the corpus. The frame is structurally implicit (spiritual brotherhood by adoption, classical aristocrats, baths, Hellenized lifestyle) but Pelopidas, Epaminondas, the Theban Sacred Band, Plato's Symposium, eromenos / erastes are not named. This article supplies the bridge.
- Christianity ambivalent. The author is hostile to Christianity's Jewish-derived sexual morality but appeals to a "classical Christian ideal of masculinity" for his son's education and to the Holy Spirit, sacrifice, and a "transcendent third" for the male partnership. The Hellenic-civilizational and Anglo-Catholic-liturgical Christianity is wanted; the Levitical sexual code is rejected.
- Monogamy: bad for men, good for society? The corpus concedes Christian monogamous marriage is "probably better for society since it preserves social stability and inter-generational transfer of property." Yet trans/queer is condemned for the same stabilizing motive. The cocksucker exception works because no dynastic property is at stake — but this leaves open whether straight men should accept the same monogamy constraint they refuse for themselves. Unresolved.
- "Gays are just as masculine" as a "big lie.** The author concedes effeminacy as descriptive class average yet builds the entire project on the Hellenized exception. The exception is the project.
- Hierarchy of beauty as a real ranking. The gay-meet-app and questions-for-gay-parties material treats status, hotness, and crowd-priced sorting as legitimate. Reconciling this with Christian charity without collapsing into Darwinism or egalitarianism is an open question.
- Pansexual / demisexual credited as recovery, not condemned as identity. The author treats the concepts as recoveries of the eros-philos-agape compound while rejecting the LGBT identity politics built on top of them. The distinction is sharp but its political consequences are not worked out — is a person who calls himself demisexual the modern Hellene, the queer, or simply confused about which category he is in?
