Conversely, gay, a word originally embraced by homosexual men and women as a positive, affirmative term (as in gay liberation and gay rights), has come into widespread pejorative use among young people. Gay and lesbian are the most common alternatives. Lesbian, however, always denotes female homosexuality. The term homosocial is now used to describe single-sex contexts that are not specifically sexual. The condemnation of penetrative sex between males, however, predates Christian dogma, as it was frequent in Ancient Greece, whence the theme of action "against nature," traceable to Plato, originated."... sow illegitimate and bastard seed in courtesans, or sterile seed in males in defiance of nature." In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, a different view began to predominate in medical and psychiatric circles, judging such behavior as indicative of a type of person.
