But men, representing half of the former man, are drawn to all the male: already in childhood, being fragments of the male being, they love men, and they like to lie down and embrace men. They are the best of both boys and boys, because they are by nature the most courageous. Some, indeed, call them shameless, but this is a misconception: they behave so not by their shamelessness, but by their courage, courage and courage, from addiction to their own likeness. There is convincing evidence that in mature years only such men turn to public activity.
by Platon. "Pir"
