the "bi" stuff about Richard is at least fifty years old

And a lie can't be perpetuated for 50 years?

Lots of lies are out there. Check out the communist agenda. They've been putting their stuff into our education system for quite a while now.

The 12th century priest who attacked Richard for being a "sodomite" was a Communist? Who knew?

Since the late 1980s, the trend in historical revisionism has been to "out" historical figures (preferably beloved ones and those who are significant) based upon the flimsiest of evidence. Once "outed" the historical figure is then referred to as gay from then on.

They even tried that with Peter the Great because he shared a bed with many of his drinking buddies, including Menshikov and Lefort. Of course, serious historians laughed the revisionists to scorn, but the revisionists keep trying.

First of all, homosexual acts and public behavior, of same, fifty years ago was NEVER accepted. Even talking about it, outside of THE KINSEY REPORT, was not done.

Secondly, the info about Richard I was OLD, millennia old, even 50 years ago. And it was NOT openly talked about in any school system, 50 years ago.

Thirdly, I've read the Communist agenda thingy, that you're talking about...several times. It has, after all, been posted to FR several 100s of times, since FR's inception.

And lastly, there have been English and other countries kings and princes and dukes, etc., who were homosexual; some of them actively and VERY openly! It's just an historical fact. Are you attempting to claim otherwise?
