>anon I was reading the Symposium like you recommended but I don't understand why Plato values homosexual love above love between a man and woman. I-i hope you don't agree with him

I'd say too bad. Love is Eros. Eros is love. Whether that be between a man and a woman. A man and a man. A woman and a woman. Or a man and a first edition of Milton's paradise lost. Who are YOU to judge the passions of the flesh? We have enough babies littering the streets, leave me and my sperm alone, wretched hag!

Probably talk about the narrow conception the Greeks had of marriage and how limiting that was to true love to the point that it was easier to find among gay pals than in marriage. Maybe recommend her Euprides' Medea.

Why wouldn't I? He's right.
>Men who are a section of that double nature which was once called androgynous are lovers of women, adulterers are generally of this breed, and also adulterous women who lust after men.
>The women who are a section of the woman do not care for men, but have female attachments: the female companions] are of this sort.

>But they who are a section of the male follow the male, and while they are young, being slices of the original man, they have affection for men and embrace them and these are the best of boys and youths, because they have the most manly nature.
tldr; if you're a young guy who doesn't sleep with older men you're a little pussy-ass bitch.
