The fact that we find ourselves living in Sodom should come as no surprise.
Almost a century ago to the day (April 8 1906), Lytton Strachey of Trinity College, Cambridge, wrote to Maynard Keynes, the future economist, ‘We can’t be content with telling the truth — we must tell the whole truth: and the whole truth is the Devil… It’s madness for us to dream of making dowagers understand that feelings are good, when we say in the same breath that the best ones are sodomitical … our time will come a 100 years hence.’
A century on
Well, the 100 years have elapsed and what do we find? An award winning Hollywood film ensures the growing acceptance of homosexuality even if it doesn’t extol it, prominent celebrities and politicians flaunt their ‘partners’ as if this is a ‘normal’ state of affairs, and sodomy is now incorporated into the legal fabric of the nation. Even the established churches speak with an uncertain voice in the matter.
