Passing: Chapter 4
I've found the "gay" chapter. It's titled Leviticus 18:22.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
In the second paragraph we read:
He found it mystifying the way one guy after the other could get all gooey and romantic over this girl or that, eye each other in the morning, be fooling around by afternoon, and move on the the next a day later. He was adept at rationalizing his own disinterest. Physical attraction was never going to be enough to push him into any short-lived involvement. He was waiting to connect emotionally, to fall in love; to celebrate and be celebrated at his own wedding... (Kroeger, p.94)
God help me. I'm not sure why this stuff still stirs so much emotion in me. It feels like it should be ancient history by now. Anyway, I'm sure I'll have more to say when I've finished the chapter.
