sentences:  There is a close link between Raffalovich's views on homosexuality and his Catholic beliefs.In contrast to then-current theories of sexual inversion, according to which a man was a homosexual because he had a female soul in a male body and a woman was lesbian because she had a male soul in a female body, and which thus essentially reproduced heterosexuality, Raffalovich's view of "unisexuality" held that it consisted of attraction to the "same" sex, closer to the modern conception of homosexuality.He wrote of gay men, "As men, they love men; but they affirm that were they women they would love women."
