Who's the art patron?  Don't leave us guessing.

My feeling about homosexuality in ancient Greece, as among modern motorcycle
gangs, is that it's a logical outcome of an extreme macho or sexist
 attitude.   
A group that convinces itself  women are useless for anything except sex is
sooner or later likely to ask the obvious next question.  Do we really need
them for sex?
