So you think many on here support LGBT issues? Really??
Id bet its more than you think- why does that community scare you so much ye of the gladiator dress?
Most transgender issues are LIES; those "women" with male genitalia, beards, and deep voices (with large Adam's Apples) are NOT women, despite their false claims and the support of those looking for another "rights" issue. You do not understand me nor the issue. You post red herrings. Scare me? NOT SO. I am calling a LIE what it is: A LIE.
The name of my clan and associated graphics are irrelevant, despite your attempt to link that to my views and despite the truth.
My dearest gladiator wannabe, here we go again with the repeated LIES remark on anyone who dares have a different opinion.
Is that why people like you villify J.K. Rowling?
btw: Youtube is not a reliable source of information.
I am sure there were homosexuals and such activities among many parts of Roman society, as happens NOW. That is NOT the point; I called most transgender matters LIES.
By the Later Roman Empire, a strict concept of sexuality for the lower class had become dominant. Morality had changed towards a substantial condemnation of homosexuality, which found a perfect match in the incipient Christian ethics. Graffiti in Pompeii reveals the homophobia of the average passerby with some added notes of color. One can still read: “Secundus sucks it”, “Ismenus cocksucker”, “Narcissus is the greatest cocksucker”, and the worst insult possible: “Broken ass”. Who knew that, along with numerals and aqueducts, Ancient Romans invented bottom-shaming too?
And just like that, we went from “partying like it was B.C” to legislation prescribing death as punishment for same-sex relations in the 4th century AD.
