For example, see Alice Sowers, “ Parent-Child Relationships from the Child’s Point of View,” Journal o f Experimental Education 6 (Dec.

D. , University of Utah, 19 7 1), 52, 72, for a study of 42 heterosexual male students. Bieber and Pritt reported findings that were two or three times high er than the later study by Bell, Weinberg, and Hammersmith, Statistical Ap pendix, 25, which found that 12 percent of 265 white heterosexual men dis liked or hated their fathers, and 14 percent of 50 black heterosexual men disliked or hated their fathers.
3 Before the late nineteenth century, European-American society regarded all males as having the same “ sexuality” (our term), but acknowledged that it was possible for every male to have genital contact with another male, which was “ un natural” (their term). ” In support of his claim that “ homosexual identi ty” is centuries old, A. D. Harvey cites executions for anal sex in Ven ice in the early 1400s, in Geneva in the m id-i5oos, and 250 such cas es in Valencia from the mid-1500s to 1700.
Moreover, does everyone at a particular time in a society accept that society’s conventional definitions of sexuality? For example, in a sur vey of 7,000 American men during the 1970s, 4 6 percent had experi enced a sexual act with another male, yet only 9 percent defined them selves as homosexual or gay and an additional 2 percent defined themselves as bisexual. Thus, 3 5 percent of the men considered them selves heterosexual despite having had sex with other males. Would the rest of America’s heterosexual men agree?
