 The claim of Lukács "evil sex ed" was popularized in the English-speaking world by Hungarian emigre and professor of political science at Maryland University, Victor Zitta, who in one of his works about Lukács and his biography relied almost exclusively on official histories of the Hungarian post-war period by the Horthy regime – a regime known for its anti-Semitic and fascist policies and for its collaboration with Nazi Germany. Zitta's book is known for its many inaccuracies: for example, it claims that "on the day of the proclamation of the Commune, Lukacs took the poet Endre Ady from his deathbed and brought him to the central [[Budapest]] square to declare him a saint of the Commune". In fact, Endre Ady had died two months before the day of the proclamation of the Commune.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/bz7haw/did_gyorgy_lukacs_engage_in_cultural_terrorism/</ref>
-Lukacs' views on such issues as libertinism and homosexuality were, in fact, much more "[[conservative]]" than his Zitta-inspired critics made them to be. For example, in his work "Die Romantik als Wendung in der deutschen Literatur" he strongly opposes the Romantics' sexual libertinism as a sign of moral decadence, while in his 1934 piece "Hölderlin's Hyperion" he refers to homosexuality as one of the negative traits of the poet Stefan George ("Hölderlin’s Hellenic and republican cult of friendship, for which his models were the [would be] tyrannicides, Harmodius and Aristogiton, is transformed into a prefigurement of the aestheticist, decadent, homosexual George circle.").<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/lukacs/works/1934/holderlin.htm</ref>

 Lukacs even went on to become the Culture Minister in the government of the [[Hungarian Revolution]] in 1956, a historical event usually celebrated by American conservatives.

-In the 2nd century AD, one of the [[heretical]] sects established by Marcion embraced the basic [[Gnostic]] convictions that The God of the [[Old Testament]] is not Father of [[Jesus Christ]], but an inferior deity who was ignorant and vengeful, foreign to the principle of ''"unlimited love"'' taught by their version of Jesus. They regarded the created world we live in as a miserable product of this inferior deity who also devised the degrading method of [[sexual reproduction]]. Thus, Marcion rejected [[marriage]] and required that his followers should not help this "malevolent" creator to keep the miserable show going on. Some Gnostics turned the argument the other way and maintained that since this mortal body will perish in any case, it does not hurt the divine spark within you if you let the body to have the sensual, mostly sexual, pleasures it longs for. These heretical views represented so serious challenge to the early church that the church father [[Tertullian]] devoted several years to writing five monumental books refuting Marcion.<ref name="Skarsaune">{{cite book
