How do you think historical and scientific perspectives on homosexuality shaped the gay individuals?

I'd need a whole essay to really delve into this, but here is the brunt of it: Historical perspectives have played a huge role in the lives of homosexual individuals. In ancient times it was fairly common and so it happened freely. In the sexually stifling Victorian times, while straight sex was unsightly, gay sex was unheard of. However, though it affected the visibility of the homosexual individuals, it by no means made them disappear. Scientific perspectives could easily be argued to be little more than modern-day historical perspectives. The scientific perspective is the way that we (logical individuals) currently try to view homosexuality. As the culture as a whole tries to understand homosexuality (which seems to have been around for eons) homosexuals try to help culture understand and, in turn, understand themselves. Historical and scientific perspectives on homosexuality force homosexuals to mirror trends rampant in a culture at any givent time.
