Its hilarious how commonly homophobic Jews will use that to justify homophobia, “oh they were just wholesome friends, gay people dont need to act on their temptations”.
That’s just the soul bond of two bros being dudes.
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.
Is there any particular reason why they do that?
Maybe not losing their friend in the crowd every two minutes? That’s my guess since they said Mumbai
I wish I knew. The other thing that stuck out to me was that no one wore shorts. I did at first just because it was hot but I stopped after I noticed that I was the only man not wearing long pants
We need more upvotes on this
Yes. Because holding hands is equivalent to having a tomb built for you and the person you shared a literal bed with while having no relationships with anyone else.
Cultural differences do indeed exist but something’s are universal. Like being gay and living together but not making a big deal about it and announcing it because if we did we’d be crucified by heterosexuals
cultural differences do exist
And a great many cultures didn’t give a shit about homosexuals. The meme is about our modern culture’s misinterpretation of older cultures. And speaking of history and culture, if you think you’re being persecuted now, oh boy, you should have been gay in 80s. We’ve come a long way in a few short decades.
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.
I’ve been reading True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the 20th Century. The pattern seems to be that the “tricked the woman into a relationship” thing would come up after the guy had been outed by police or something - throwing your husband under the bus to not be tarred by the association with queerness. Or a couple of cases where a jilted lover got revenge by revealing the “secret.”
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 ?
Personally, I think those are a kind of “kinkwashing” that goes on in museums. It might upset conservative donors if you straight up labeled objects as “Masturbation aid, 100 BCE” or “Sex toy, possibly used for pegging, 800 CE”.
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.
Well, they had a tomb built for them so gonna go ahead and nullify that theory.
People are just gay dude, lol
I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm that flew by you.
Eh, bit of column A and B. Sometimes people are just gay. But sometimes my joke is true as well. And then there are people who are ideologically entrenched on either side who shout down the other side. When in reality people are just people. Some people are gay and others are not. Some of those people were famous or important and the vast majority of them weren’t. And trying to stand on a mountain of corpses to prove either modern sensibility point is…just dumb.
Personally, people just need to learn to mind their own fucking business and stop trying to control what other people do, say, and feel. If it makes someone feel good and happy to love someone of the same sex, go for it.
Or as my granny used to say, paraphrased for modern times, “if you can’t say anything nice, then shut the ever-loving fuck up.”
I’m not sure what that has to do with my point other than reinforcing it. Gay people are exactly that: people. Some were famous/important to history. A vast majority of them weren’t. Same with straight people. And standing on the graves of what came before as a way of proving/disproving something in the modern era is dumb.
Yes. I was strongly agreeing with you.
Ah. Well, I’m being critiqued by others. I figured you were dogpiling. I do apologize.
Yeah. I don’t think someone’s sexuality factors into what makes them important. Dr. Alexander Fleming is important because of his discovery, not because of what he got up to in the bedroom.
They found some kind of hip harness with a phallic looking tail attached so I think they were simply ancient cosplayers and this is one big confusion. Gay people only started turning up when big pharma made us inject nanobots disguised as “covid vaselines” or whatever, I unno, I’m not a diseasologist but I’ve learned a lot from facebook.
wait, is the ancient strap-on a real thing?
Yes, strap-on tails were common back then. Funnily enough, the original ones were developed by hunters to help them blend in with other animals. As time went on they were adopted by women as a symbol of counter-culture like “women can also hunt” kinda thing. They would often bejewel them as a sign of wealth.
same thing happened with Abraham Lincoln
Abra was a lesbian?
Of course there is!!!
And also a homosexual one as well 😉
I’ve been hearing some very serious accusations.
