From Edward Albee’s play, “The Goat”. Overwhelmed with a sense of loss and love for his father, Billy embraces Martin and kisses him sexually on the mouth. Martin pushes Billy away just as Ross enters to witness the scene. Martin angrily defends both his son and himself to Ross by stating: “He loves his father, and if it…clicks over and becomes—what?—sexual for…just a moment…so what?! So fucking what?! He’s hurt and he’s lonely and mind your own fucking business!”

You weave text, looking at Leviticus through the lens of a curious adolescent mind and historical roots of homophobia so well. Thank you.
