By the way, I really recommend that you read the entire dialogue by Pseudo-Lucian, as well as Plutarch's work on the same subject; they really are fascinating insights into the common pagan arguments against homosexuality. Here are the references; they're both Loebs, so you can find them at any university library:

Lucian (attributed). "Affairs of the Heart." Lucian. Translated by M. D. MacLeod. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1967. 8:147-235.

Plutarch. "The Dialogue on Love." Moralia. Translated by Edwin L. Minar, Jr., F. H. Sandbach, and W. C. Helmbold. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1961. 9:303-441.

Once I get my scanner working, I'm planning to add to Unconditional Love Philo's passages on homosexuality, which are equally fascinating. (Philo, for those who haven't encountered him before, was a first-century Jewish philosopher; his works tell us a lot about Jewish thought in Paul's time.)

By the way, have you noticed my new section of Unconditional Love, linked below?
