Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

terpsikeraunos:

if we can’t apply modern concepts of sexuality to the ancient world…that means that literally no one was straight. no one. heterosexuals never existed in ancient rome or greece. they didn’t exist until the term was coined in the 19th century.

but for some reason this concept only comes up when people are trying to erase lgbt+ people from ancient history. strange coincidence.

Me, about historical characters:  Well, yeah, this person was almost certainly in a relationship with this other person of the same gender, but that would have been viewed differently than our modern perception of ‘gay relationships’–

Some asshole:  Because they were straight and friendships just used to be so intense and intimate!!!

Me, unhinging my jaw to scream: ALL YOUR HISTORICAL FAVES WERE GAY.  *begins to bludgeon them with Sonnet 18*  SHALL I FUCKING COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER’S DAY?
