Well, we'd already guessed that. :) Your view (nicely clarified) is similar to item four, except that I think the pro-homosexuality Greeks would have seen this as a matter of taste rather than orientation. (I'm not sure I can describe what the difference is between inborn taste and orientation, but there's definitely a different flavor to the classical conversations.) As far as I can tell, it's actually the anti-homosexuality group – further modified by Jewish and Christian thought – that came up with the idea of sexual orientation. Isn't that wonderfully ironic?
