Just a connection I realized recently. This kind of homophobia is THE REASON WHY people assume there was no gay/trans people in history. Because they're afraid to say the obvious about history and don't teach it.

obligatory "people on Lemmy don't reflect the Idiocracy of where I live" (conservative Florida). I know nearly everyone here knows that trans people have always existed, but my God people here hardly know what a trans person is, much less the history of it. also it's literally illegal to teach history that's not heterosexual in school 🥀

But cultural differences do exist too. When I visited Mumbai, I fairly frequently saw pairs of adult men walking around holding hands. It looked really gay to my American eyes, gayer than anything that my gay friends do in public. However, apparently in India it is normal for heterosexual men to hold each other's hands.

When I was younger and read these articles. I was so stupid. Like, the articles were like, "she was pretending to be a man all this time!" I was like, "omg, she must have tricked that poor woman in a relationship all that time, how sad" in my defense these articles danced around the fact that they likely had to hide this due to prejudice or whatever.

It's the same thing when they find phallic objects and call them "ritual objects" or "for sexual rituals". Is it that difficult to perhaps assume they were likely used to get off ?

They seemed to have lived beside the sea in a colorful hut decorated with an assortment of shells hoisted on spools of long rotten string. Many of these shells were not native to the area, with their foreign number totaling approximately twice the number of years that the hut stood. The center of their home held a small cooking pot coated with the remnants of floral oils and native psychedelics.

Their art and writings were discovered further inland beneath the stump of a contemporaneously planted tree, preserved within a wooden box encased in tar. The box itself held a visual record of their time together, the intricate tapestry etched into its every surface appeared to have been carved over many years, with its detail increasing until the most recent set, which appeared markedly cruder, depicting a single figure in mourning attire.

Due to their decorations and their poetry’s frequent mentions of eating each other’s “steaming hot clam”, we believe they chose to live with one another beside the sea to satisfy their mutual love of shellfish.

Have you seen how much cottages go for? It makes sense that it would take two people to afford a one bedroom cottage. And since there's only one bedroom then there's no need for a second bed.

Yeah. They were hideous old hags who were shunned by society. And since being alone in most areas in the times of antiquity was certain death they banded together.

same thing happened with Abraham Lincoln

Of course there is!!!

And also a homosexual one as well 😉

I've been hearing some very serious accusations.
