Kamila Remisova Vesinova and her team of researchers from the Czech Archeological Society believe they have unearthed the remains of an early homosexual man. The remains date from around 2900-2500 B.C., on the outskirts of Prague.
That claim stems from the fact the 5,000-year old skeleton was buried in a manner reserved for women in the Corded Ware culture: its head was pointed east rather than west, and its remains were surrounded by domestic jugs rather than by hammers, flint knives and weapons that typically accompany male remains....

... stripped of innuendo and all that jazz, likely a reasonable enough inference from the data presented...
Sigh...
All cultures in all times have "....had them ever with us." Drawing on my long ago "familiarity" with "our" own Great Plains Indian Cultures of recent past... I recall that even among these fierce warrior societies with their bigtime macho front... there was accomodation for those of "...another persuasion...". I think the Sioux called them "Berdash" (maybe "Berdache" (?) via the French Trappers among them - speaking of which, must have been a dubioius foreign influence to begin with! Just kidding -- old "Mountainman lore"... etc.) ... something like that. They wore women's clothing and tidied up around the tipi every day and set a nice table when the "other half" checked in after a hard day's work and all...
(The Plains tribes recognized a lot of "aberrant" societies or sub-groups: one of most intriguing (to me) were the "Contraries" (as I think they were called...). They did evrything in reverse: they habitually walked backwards, rode backwards, wore their clothing on backwards, sat when others stood, etc etc. - all (or as many as they could devise) of normal human behaviors were performed or done in reverse by them)....
Contraries
Reminds me of a episode of “Red Dwarf.” It is a sci-fi spoof and one time they end up in a time line where existence starts at death and ends in the womb.
The main characters are more or less not affected until one tries to take a dump...
LOL!!! Todays progressive liberal slime described to a T.
That would not be good! lol
LOL, it surely does. :)

Ever heard of physiological psychology?
There was one depicted in the movie "Little Big Man". And no, the movie title had nothing to do with that fact...
I wonder if these archeologists have ever heard of hermaphrodites?

Saw it at the movie theater back in 1971.
You saw A Man Called Horse too eh?
Your right. It was Little Big Man.
***You saw A Man Called Horse too eh?****
Sure did! I even saw KINGS OF THE SUN forty five years before APOCALYPTO.
Maybe the guy was an old medicine man, they didn’t use weapons but did store remedies in jugs.
Really, could’ve been anything. This sort of stuff is pure conjecture based on what they’ve dug up so far and imagination about it.
Maybe he had an unfortunate accident — no soft tissues or their outline have been preserved. OTOH, poofs have been found in all known societies...
That’s as likely a possibility as any. :’)
