J. Edgar Hoover, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Atty. Roy Cohn. I hate to admit that all of these truly horrible sociopaths were gay men. But then again, had society not created homosexuality as a sociopathy maybe they would have dealt with it as it is, a completely natural sexual variant. Myriad studies have identified naturally occurring homosexual behavior among higher and lower primates. Homosexual behavior and love are as old as the species.
