proscriptions against, where and how and with who it is acceptable, etc. That is, I guess, specific attitudes have been taken toward homosexuality that are different from those taken toward sexuality in general, or toward heterosexuality specifically. Now, the history of sexuality article shouldn't be about heterosexuality, but about historical attitudes toward sexuality in general, warranting specific articles about the history of heterosexuality (initially, heterosexuals were considered perverts - interesting, no?) and the history of homosexuality and how these concepts have developed over time. -

Not sure about that, the history of arranged marriages and age of consent law alone can be a rich source of content, not too mention various cultural taboos about sex, even dangerous and relevant health issue ones such as the belief that having sex with a prepubescent virgin girl can cure someone of

I removed the Wiccan views of homosexuality from this page since this page only has links to the very general religions (Christianity, Islam, Neopaganism etc.). I think that the more specific sects' (like Wicca's) views on homosexuality fit better on the specific religions' "views of homosexuality"

I'm afraid you're half-arguing my case for me there. Cultural taboos, health issues, and particularly age of consent issues are relevant to both. See what I mean - I think you're going to struggle to find content that is specific to heterosexuality.

Becuase there are numerous historical customs and proscriptions that apply specifically to same-gender sexuality that do not apply to opposite-gender sexuality. The presumption that because heterosexuality is the "norm" and therefore should be

Why? How is history of heterosexuality possibly going to differ from
History of sexuality? It's just a silly attempt to copy history of homosexuality - which would be significantly different.

history of sexuality and relgiion is a fundamental biased POV. For example, religious proscriptions against sexual congress during menses is specific to heterosexuality, but that does

Richard
Stallman's support of free software has a near-religious fervor to it, but the "Church of Emacs" is just an insider's joke. I guess you already gnu that.Ā ;-)
