Homophilia: The Principle of Gayness

Just like the natural masculine and feminine essences that show up in every person, regardless of their gender, perhaps we can consider gayness to be a similar naturally occurring deep structure of human nature. Author Joe Perez explains his theory of homophilia, or same-directed love, and how each person has varying gradations of expression between homophilia and heterophilia (other-directed love), and how there are healthy and unhealthy aspects of both of these essences. Joe talks about the manifestation of this principle as it plays out in the memoir of his life, Soulfully Gay.
