 The sad thing, however, was the absence of strong support for Modinos, not only from homosexuals but also from heterosexuals. Ultimately, the repression of homosexuality is the culmination of a process of mutilating eroticism in moulded sexual contexts.This is not the place for an extensive analysis of sexual repression, but it does not take much intelligence to realize that the enclosure of the sexual act in the insertion of the penis into the vagina is an authoritarian ideology to support the patriarchal unloving family. **The struggle of homosexuals in its symbolic dimension is also a struggle for the expansion of the erotic possibilities of humans.** But more practically - it is unacceptable to sit around and shout about civil rights when we don't have the courage to support our acquaintance who is still struggling to accept his or her homosexuality.
-Anyway, with these and other thoughts in mind, in the spring of '92 a committee of homosexuals and heterosexuals was formed in Limassol to abolish the legislation. Patriotism had also overtaken us  - "Enough with Europeans imposing laws on us. Let us change the law ourselves". Eventually the committee, after an initial campaign of collecting signatures and sending letters to the presidencial palace and to the parliament, was split and subverted due to (well, what else?) the national problem.There was a rupture between Greeks and Cypriots (actually the Greeks left) after the [[https://archive.org/details/xoris_plaisia_panayiotou1992|"Choris Plesia"]] TV programme in April and so it was back to the Archbishop setting national policy on how the world makes love.

 On the other hand, a reluctance of the homosexuals themselves to become active was also evident. In any case, a relatively peculiar situation had been created even before the government's decision. In Limassol, in a Cypriot context, one can say that there is a gay subculture with bars, pickup spots, hangout spaces etc. It is a subculture that enjoys a relative tolerance - relative because as long as homosexuality is not an accepted thing the average homosexual will be a victim of either exploitation or violence by the police. More fundamentally, however, as P.I., who was a founding member of the committee, observes in the [[en:magazines:traino:no_10:homosexualidentity|following article]], the central problem is the formation and acceptance of a homosexual identity as something 'normal'.
