Yep. Too bad our schools will be producing less of them, as all the students will be learning gay history instead. :P
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

They could kill two birds with one stone and learn about gay scientists and technologists. At least, they could if the phrase 'kill two birds with one stone' wasn't considered anti-feminist, and probably Islamaphobic.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
