the sexual deviate

Krystal has this book. It was published in 1963. It's pretty hilarious. And fucked. But we are safely in 2009, so it is ok to laugh about it.

One passage that was particularly enlightening: ''Thus a lesbian does not seek out women as lovers because of some inner craving for homosexual relations but because of some basic psychic imbalance.... Whatever the cause, we may be fairly secure in assuming her lesbianism is, at root, a manifestation of some inner emotional problem.''

Great, right? I'm glad someone finally figured it out. Thanks, 1963. You're awesome.

Fucking yikes, though. Seriously.

p.s. What really cheeses me off about the book is that fags don't even have their own section in it. Like we're not even good enough or important enough to get a chapter in the pervert book. It's the visibility thing. Le argh. Fuckers.
