The British Museum has added a Roman-era oil lamp depicting a scene of lesbian sex and other LGBTQ+ cultural objects to its permanent exhibition. The museum, which is currently closed due the coronavirus pandemic but usually attracts about six million visitors a year, already runs popular LGBTQ-themed tours. Five new objects, including the lamp, a novelty 'nine bob note', a Greek coin depicting Sappho, Kabuki prints and a medallion from a cross-dressing spy will go on display in the museum.

I go to the British Museum every London visit, twice a year. Luckily there’s plenty to see in the museum, and I can skip that very easily!

LOL, I noticed when I went there, there wasn’t nearly as many people in the African section as the others.

Well, Themyscira is all female...

I'm old school. It will always b e "Paradise Island" to me.

There were two really hot girls in my high school. Both cheerleaders. There were rumors that they were lesbians tho I didn’t really believe it. They both dated boys for one thing.

I found out a few years ago that one of them is definitely. The other one is married but still could have been.

For some reason the image of those two making out didn’t seem nearly as disgusting as two guys.

To your point...

For you:

Stand by for depictions of rectal syphilis.I won’t post any such photos...but they’re easily found.

[Morpheus2009]

I thought syphilis was all over the body, well I wouldn’t know because I thankfully never got it myself.

[Gay State Conservative]

Neither have I...but I worked in “front line” big city medicine for decades. I’ve seen things that I won’t even *try* to explain to you.

[Boomer]

But wait! I’m offended so everyone has to do what I want so pull that thing down and burn it.

Hey! It works for BLM.

[libertylover]

I won’t pretend that homosexuality is new, nor will I pretend that it’s normal.

PING

This just in, ancient city of Sodom practiced sodomy.

>>What’s interesting is that if a Great Person like George Washington owned slaves, then everything he accomplished is wiped away. But if evil tyrannical civilizations practiced openly gay sex, all else is forgiven.

Homofascists consider it a PLUS that they threw Christians to the lions.

The sign is conveniently written in English.
