Even if homosexuality were
innate, even if it were an acquired trait
or a skill that is learned,
it would be right to advise —
not only the governments
of China, India and Bangladesh –
to teach boys to love boys
and girls to love girls.
Too many are quarreling in any case
and there is little love, so very little,
and even though NASA keeps trying,
as of now there aren’t any other worlds.
From Mavo le-Valshanut Minit (“Introduction to Sexual Linguistics,” Carmel, 2013).
