There you go again. You keep making blanket statements like

sleeping together (a common practice back then)

All I'm asking is that you cite those claims. Was it common for grown men to sleep with one another in France in the 13th century? I honestly don't know. You say it was. But do you have any supporting evidence or are you just making this up?

Besides all that, Henry II would hardly have marvelled to know that his son was homosexual. Rather, he would have marvelled that the 2 had a close friendship which would bode well for the expansion of his kingdom.

And you know that because...?

You will have to read more about the culture back then. Then you won't be hoodwinked by the gay history-revisionist propoganda. Even as late as Melville's "Moby Dick" Ishmael and Queequeg share a bed and no one to my knowledge has accused them of homosexuality.

And you know that because...?

Again, if you know your history, you will know that Henry II lived for the expansion of his kingdom. If there was any threat that his son would adopt a homosexual lifestyle and thereby imperil the dynasty he would certainly not have "marvelled".

The only way to be sure of this stuff is to become more familiar with history. One of the socialists' favorite tactics is to disrupt it. The more you know, the more you can be free from their tactics.
