Interpretations of "Aye and Gomorrah" and the implications on the Gay Rights Issue

In the sci-fi short story "Aye and Gomorrah," there are two races that have no gender identity, and are exiled from mainstream society because of it...but that is only the tip of the iceberg with this story. The story, written in 1967, was written during the fallout from the Stonewall Riots in New York City, starting the modern gay rights issue in full force, which continues to this day. In the 1960s counter-culture movement, the gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals really started campaigning for their rights, following on the trail of the black civil rights movement and the women's rights movement. The fact that a biblical title was used by the author, in reference to a specific event in the Bible that wiped a city out for its sexual sins, seems to imply that the events of the 1960s and Stonewall were of significant importance to the author in writing the story, mainly in the fact that the author himself, Delaney, was gay, and the issue of gay rights was therefore very poignant to him, especially during the 1960s, when the idea of gay rights had first become mainstream, although gays, prior to the 1930s and the religious revival, had never been stigmatized too much, as shown in the book "Gay New York," about the history of homosexual inhabitants of Manhattan and New York City in general.
