But both symbol and myth have the same function psychologically; they are man's way of expressing the quintessence of his experience - his way of seeing his life, his self-image and his relations to the world of his fellow men and of nature - in a total figure which at the same moment carries the vital meaning of this experience.

If homosexuality is the opposite or counter-sexual activity to that, then what kind of a structure would it be? Todd Haynes
