Not at all. The bottom line is two people making love. As in Enzian and 
the young(er) Blicero, which for Enzian at least is meaningful enough to 
evoke the Herero name for god. I don't think TRP makes any distinction at 
all between homo and hetero love. Only when love becomes embroiled / 
complicitous / subordinate to power games ....
