In English/German the word for "bad" meaning unpleasant also is the same root word meaning battle (literally ""both parts"' in modern and old german), dig/kill in proto indo european, and fag/intersex (slur) in old german and old english (and possibly before)essentially the concept of violence and disapproval is intertwined with our linguistic conception of homosexuality and gender non conformingI kinda wonder how "battle" got mixed up in all that but maybe its sort of like "there's two sides" I mean just type "both parts" into google translate and it spits out "beide teile" which is very similar to battle and baeddel (the old english root of bad)Possibly from a Gaulish or Proto-Germanic root from Proto-Indo-European *bʰedʰ- (“to stab, dig”), related to Old English beado (“battle”); or possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *bʰew- (“to hit, strike, beat”).so basically the ancient concept of gayness is "people who act fruity that you beat up" and also just a generic word for evil
