What do you mean by 'forbidden'?

Taboo, I'll bet he means.
I'd say child molestation. Highly, highly "forbidden" to take a "pro" view of that.
I can't imagine anything our society collectively frowns upon more ferociously.
 
The connection between mainstream Islamic orthodoxy and global Jihad.

1. Those who recognize it are afraid to mention it for fear of igniting a larger conflict.

2. But those who don't recognize it can't get anyone on an official basis to explain it to them because of #1.

Still not a forbidden topic. I think 1069 was right when she said child molestation is the most taboo subject, since arguing it from the "pro" side is almost unanimously frowned upon ( as it should be ).
 
I'm sure Faulkner was manly, he wrote about the hardass south and how wretched everything was.

And Hemmingway frequently survived plane crashes and drank Martinis for breakfast.

Your holding yourself to a low standard.

Hemingway was bi, wasn't he?
He had some kind of relationship with Scott Fitzgerald when he was in Paris and the Fitzgeralds were living on the Riviera that went beyond, I suspect, mere drinking buddies.

I thought that was just a myth.

Well, Zelda was convinced.
She wrote about her suspicions in letters, which still exist.
And I think in her novel "Save Me the Waltz", which was a thinly-disguised autobiography, her heroine "Alabama" (which is her) has a husband who has an affair with a fellow writer who is obviously supposed to be Ernst Hemingway.
I haven't actually read 'Save me the Waltz", but I've read a lot of biographical stuff about that particular group of American ex-pats and their hedonistic life in Europe in the 1920s.
