Hhmmm ... that's a very prejudicial statement don't you
think? Regardless of what you think, I judge any and all on
merit not bias. I wasn't raised within a biased environment.
I have absolutely no prejudicial opinions on race, sex,
ethnicity, or sexual preference. Ignorance and inequality,
however, my mother was very apt at teaching me to avoid. I
can't help if my personal observations disagree within anyone
else's, but having a different view hardly qualifies as
evidence of having a closed view.
I thought we were dropping this discussion. Achilles was not
hard-boiled, he lacks the very cynicism which dominates the
personality of a true hard-boiled character. I've never
disagreed that he--as presented in the myth--is a hero nor
that whether or not his homosexuality was a positive or
negative condition. My point and the point which I remain
holding is that sexual preference is irrelevant. It doesn't
make Achilles more or less of a hero. It has nothing to do
with it period.

Of course, it came from a "gay" website, so Anthony, for one, will automatically discredit it but I personally found no evidence that the other information on the site (http://gsaglobal.net/theoutlife/encyclopedia/a.html) was inaccurate.
