historical gay facts

1. In ancient greece, it was pretty common for dudes to be gay, it was actually considered manly for men to engaged in sexual intercourse (not sure about the girls but some sources say that the Spartan women would be encourage to take the role of a "man" since the men are usually away). There were also many instances where people in Greeks myths were shown to be asexual and other sexualities (ex. Athena, Artemis, etc.)

2. The term Lesbian and Saphic actually orginated from a Poet named Sappho from Lesbos, while she did have a "husband," (many people think its a joke since his name literally translates to Dick Allcock from the Isle of Man") she was considered to be Lesbian since she would often write her poems where she would basically simp over Aphrodite and other women.

2. in Ancient Rome, it was ok to be gay but only if you were a top. (also women weren't allowed to be gay since the Romans believed they were taking the role of men
)

3. Not sure if this is gay but there was actually a norse myth where Thor (Norse god of thunder) had to dress up as women because a dude has stolen his hammer and the only way to get it back was if the dude got to marry one of the goddesses, Thor tried to convince her to marry the dude but she refused so the other gods came together and decided that Thor should pretend to be that goddess and marry the dude to get his hammer back. So Thor pretended to be the goddess and he got his hammer back and proceeded to kill everyone at the wedding .tbh i didn't know why Thor had to pretend to be the goddess since Loki can literally shapeshift but i like this myth so whatever
