Do You Know who Invented the Words Homosexual and Heterosexual - and the Idea of Sexual Orientation?

In this episode, I trace the invention of the words homosexual and heterosexual, and the idea of sexual orientation, back to the middle and late 1800s and early 1900s. I also share when the word homosexual first appeared in a translation of the New Testament (1946), and that it opened the door for the present ideas of straight people and gay people as categories of humanity, and straight and gay Christians as categories of Christians. In short: heresies! Email: [email protected]
