Spicer says

Jack Spicer claimed that 'homosexuality is essentially being alone.'

Gobsmacking sort of thing to say, really. Did he mean this in an existential sense ... which is to say, a mandarin, or even Nietzschean mountain-top sense of elevated separation from humanity? Or in a more mundane self-pitying erotic-solipsistic sense? (But why would he think this latter unique to homosexuality?)
