摘录两段WIKI：
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._E._Lawrence
Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (August 16, 1888[1] – May 19, 1935), known professionally as T. E. Lawrence, was a British soldier renowned especially for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18, but whose vivid personality and writings, along with the extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, have made him the object of fascination throughout the world as "Lawrence of Arabia".
Lawrence's public image was due in part to U.S. traveller and journalist Lowell Thomas's sensationalised reportage of the Revolt, as well as to Lawrence's autobiographical account, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Sexuality
Writers working to elucidate the history of same-sex erotic relationships identify a strong homoerotic element in Lawrence's life, while scholars, including his official biographer, have been accused of "attempt[ing] to defend Lawrence against 'charges' of homosexuality."[8]
Lawrence did not discuss his sexual orientation or practices. There is one clearly homoerotic passage in the Introduction, Chapter 2, of Seven Pillars of Wisdom: "quivering together in the yielding sand, with intimate hot limbs in supreme embrace."
The book is dedicated to "S.A." with a poem that begins:
"I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To gain you Freedom, the seven-pillared worthy house,
that your eyes might be shining for me
When I came."[9]
It is unclear whether "S.A." identifies a man, a woman, a nation, or some combination of the above. Lawrence himself maintained that "S.A." was a composite character.[citation needed] Lawrence himself once said: "I liked a particular Arab, and thought that freedom for the race would be an acceptable present."[10] If "S.A." does refer to a particular person, a likely possibility is Selim Ahmed, nicknamed "Dahoum" ("Dark One"), a 14-year-old Arab with whom Lawrence is known to have been close. The two met while working at a pre-war archaeological dig at Carchemish; Lawrence had the boy move in with him, carved a nude sculpture of him which he placed on the roof of the house in Greco-Roman style, and brought Ahmed on holiday to England. The two parted in 1914, never to see each other again, as Dahoum died of typhus in 1918. Boston University Professor Matthew Parfitt (who never met Lawrence) maintains that "in Seven Pillars, and more explicitly in his correspondence, Lawrence suggests that his distaste for the entire exploit (i.e., the Arab Campaign) in its last triumphant days was largely owing to news of his friend's death."
In Seven Pillars, Lawrence claims that, while reconnoitering Deraa in Arab disguise, he was captured, beaten, and sexually molested.[11] Modern biographers have questioned whether the incident ever occurred: there are problems with the chronology of Lawrence's account, whose subsequent sex-life revolved around male flagellation, while the Ottoman commander whom Lawrence accuses of whipping and sodomising him went on to lead a blameless post-war life without a hint of scandal. Lawrence's own statements and actions concerning the incident have contributed to the confusion: he removed the page from his war diary which would have covered the November 1917 week in question.
It is true that Lawrence hired a man to beat him, making it clear he had unconventional tastes, notably masochism.[12] Also, years after the Deraa incident, Lawrence embarked on a rigid programme of physical rehabilitation, including diet, exercise, and swimming in the North Sea. During this time he recruited men from the service and told them a story about a fictitious uncle who, because Lawrence had stolen money from him, demanded that he enlist in the service and that he be beaten. Lawrence wrote letters purporting to be from the uncle ("R." or "The Old Man") instructing the men in how he was to be beaten, yet also asking them to persuade him to stop this. This treatment continued until his death.[13]
Discussion about Lawrence's sexuality began with Richard Aldington's scathingly critical Lawrence of Arabia: A Biographical Inquiry (1955). Richard Meinertzhagen wrote in his Middle East Diary that upon meeting Lawrence, he asked himself, "Boy or girl?" – though historians widely consider this to have been added after the fact. The play Ross (1960) by Terence Rattigan, as well as the famous film Lawrence of Arabia, helped introduce the idea into popular culture.
In a letter to a homosexual man, Lawrence wrote that he did not find homosexuality morally wrong, yet he did find it distasteful.[14] In the book T.E. Lawrence by His Friends, many of Lawrence's friends are adamant that he was not homosexual but simply had little interest in the topic of sex. Not one of them suspected him of homosexual inclinations. Like many men of the time, T.E. Lawrence had little pressure to pursue women. Unlike most men of his time, he also had little inclination. E.H.R. Altounyan, a close friend of Lawrence, wrote the following in T.E. Lawrence by His Friends:
"Women were to him persons, and as such to be appraised on their own merits. Preoccupation with sex is (except in the defective) due either to a sense of personal insufficiency and its resultant groping for fulfilment, or to a real sympathy with its biological purpose. Neither could hold much weight with him. He was justifiably self sufficient, and up to the time of his death no woman had convinced him of the necessity to secure his own succession. He was never married because he never happened to meet the right person; and nothing short of that would do: a bald statement of fact which cannot hope to convince the perverse intricacy of the public mind."

Seven Pillars of Wisdom的序：
To S.A.
I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To earn you Freedom, the seven-pillared worthy house,
that your eyes might be shining for me
When we came.
Death seemed my servant on the road, till we were near
and saw you waiting:
When you smiled, and in sorrowful envy he outran me
and took you apart:
Into his quietness.
Love, the way-weary, groped to your body, our brief wage
ours for the moment
Before earth's soft hand explored your shape, and the blind
worms grew fat upon
Your substance.
Men prayed me that I set our work, the inviolate house,
as a menory of you.
But for fit monument I shattered it, unfinished: and now
The little things creep out to patch themselves hovels
in the marred shadow
Of your gift.
+++++++
关于那个发生在Deraa的sexually molested，余光中的《寸心造化》里也写到过。
……勞倫斯所以突然離開大馬士革，除了因為阿拉伯仍四分五裂，而英法的政治陰謀令他心寒齒冷之外，尚有另一隱衷。據說他一直因為自己是私生子而深感羞辱，乃視性為一種不潔，非但終身未娶，即女友也鮮聞來往。尤為不幸的是，在阿拉伯戰役的後期，他因潛入敵後探刺軍情，在德拉（Deraa）被捕。土耳其司令官並不知道他就是勞倫斯，但惑於他的白皙肌膚，竟擬向他施行雞姦。在勞倫斯的反抗下，司令官將他刺傷，並令四名兵勇於鞭苔他之後，一一將他姦污。據勞倫斯在《七智柱》中的自述，當時他喬裝阿拉伯人，雖在極端痛苦之際，仍能努力自抑，只用阿拉伯語，而不用英語呻吟。此事是否誇張，後人意見頗為分歧，不過它對勞倫斯身心的摧殘，是無可比擬的。在德拉受辱之前，他在別人和自己的想像之中，儼然是米賽亞再世。但經過了那次事件，他的自我神化和英雄氣概便頹然崩潰了。這種幻滅，加上後來自疑是一大騙局，令他視表面的光榮如糞土，甚且懷疑一切的所謂偉大云云，恐怕都是起於誤會。
（看了之后的感想……余先生好腐= = 用阿拉伯语呻吟OTL，史料上另一种看法是劳伦斯本身是个M，但这个我不是太相信，毕竟人家喜欢的Selim Ahmed当年才14岁而已，可见他明明是个喜欢小正太的攻呀）
+++++++
另外伊斯兰是禁止同性间性行为的。摘录一段：
……大部分的教士认为经典上明文禁所以穆斯林必须弃绝同性恋与同性性交。
《古兰经》第七章记载说：“ …… 鲁特，当时他对他的宗族说：‘你们怎么做那种丑事呢？在你们之前，全世界的人没有一个做过这种事的。你们一定要舍妇女而以男人满足性欲，你们确是过分的民众”。
传统的穆斯林根据对这几段经文的理解，认为 “舍妇女而以男人满足性欲”和“与众人中的男性交接，而舍弃你们的主所为你们创造的妻子”指的就是同性恋的行为，因此阿拉伯文就把“癖好男男性交者”称为qaum Lut（意思是“鲁特的族人”），并且把“男男性交癖好”称为liwat（意思是“鲁特的族人的行为”），到了近代更把这两个字跟“同性恋”（homosexuality）与“同性恋者（homosexuals）划上等号。
先知穆罕默德离世后，跟随者把他的言行编成《先知圣训》。圣训里对于同性性交的行为有很明确的立场，例如：“当一个男人跨在另一个男人的上面时，真主的宝座都会震动”、“男人不可以进入别的男人的身体”、以及“如果看到有人作鲁特的族人做的事，杀了那个主动跟被动的”等经句。
（结论是Selim Ahmed和Lawrence果然又是一FORBIDDEN COLORS口牙）
