Putting aside the pederastic exploitation of children, I tried to tell some people on a thread recently that, whatever our opposition to identity politics (gay or otherwise,) that we should not pretend that homosexual practice was not fairly widespread in the ancient world AND that this did not signal the decadent end of their civilizations. It simply was.
I read half of that the other day and it is horrifying to read. I’ve never been a big history buff and guess I think back to the ‘nicer’ days when I was growing up.
Turns out it may have been the very best time to ‘grow up’. I really didn’t know how they treated children in ‘olden’ times.
