John Wetton having a bit of a climb at Knowlton Church, 1969
Burton spoke of the existence of what he called the “‘Sotadic Zone,’” a reference to the third-century B.C. Greek-Egyptian poet Sotades, who wrote homoerotic poetry. (...) The Sotadic Zone encompasses not only Arab countries in Africa from “Morocco to Egypt,” (...) but also “meridional France, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Greece.” Inside the Sotadic zone “the Vice [homosexuality] is popular and endemic, held at the worst to be a mere peccadillo, whilst the races to the North and South of the limits here defined practise it only sporadically amid the opprobrium of their fellows who, as a rule, are physically incapable of performing the operation and look upon it with the liveliest disgust.”

Steve Howe in "Yours is No Disgrace", poorly pieced together by yours truly.
Sorry for taking over this post about a gorgeous movie but one thing I have to mention is the fact that somewhere within the last 20 years unicorns have stopped being represented as entirely white. Now they have rainbow hair and (can have) colorful skin.
(And they also stopped being magical horses that can only be ridden by a virgin – to the point where, in a room full of literature majors, at least 10 of us didn't know that was the base requirement)
And the reason for that, surprisingly, is My Little Pony. I'm serious.
