First sentence: IN A RECENT book devoted to the commendable task of promoting and defending what, in its title, are called Gay Ideas, the philosopher Richard Mohr singles out for extended criticism one idea in particular that, despite its sometime popularity among lesbian and gay historians and cultural theorists, evidently does not qualify, in his eyes, as properly "gay": namely, the idea that sexuality is socially constructed.
