Why are there so few famous long-term gay male couples from pre-1900 history?
>>
because being a couple is a fake and gay larp by cissoids to avoid feeling lonely, and gay males get used to feeling lonely like real men who arent fake gay larpers

you sound depressed

ya=( sorry
the truth is probably they kept such relationships secret, just as in homophobic places today
>>
>>44491697
I guess my point is its amazing they got 99.999999% of gay guys to keep it a secret, but some people believe everything has changed totally in 20 years, gays are never closeted anymore, and are basically accepted now. Seems like quite the shift.
>>
>>44491349
Because they dated/just fucked in secret while marrying women for the status
>>
>>44491708
There was a decades long movement to achieve that and it's still not perfect
>>
>>44491708
sexuality wasnt important in the past. read foucalt
>>
>>44491777
didn't he fiddle kids?

>>44491709
why did none of them dare to openly date other men? what happens if you do that?
>>
>>44491349
Because before then they were merely "the best of friends"
The language evolved anon, keep up
>>
>>44491349
I don't know... I guess... would it be due to homophobia?

Homosexuality was punished and even illegal in most places and even without punishment cultural homophobia also prevented them to be public as couples
>>
>>44491719
Exactly.
>>
>>44491349
They were gay, but not in public.
People knew their loved ones were gay, but didn't called them so.
It was the aunt or uncle who had that one lifelong friend by their side.
>>
>>44492030
Ok but why was everyone so terrified to admit it was romantic? Would they have been hauled off to jail for just having a boyfriend? Why was society so interested in enforcing such laws?

>>44492325
Ok but why not in public?
>>
>>44492421
precarious manhood

>>44491349
Aside from achillies and patroclus, herakles and his cousin, alexander the great and his cousin, caesar and the king of bythia, that one english king, that one chinese emperor, like 400 years of sultans, davinci, odin...

The thing about being gay when its illegal is that you dont advertize it, and the thing about historians with a strong christian bias is that they whitewash it
>>
>>44492421
Compulsory Heterosexuality

>what happens if you do that?
Leviticus 20:13
