More propaganda to give the impression that it’s always been popular and natural. Complete bs.

The importance of this research can’t be overstated...

Elagabalus was reported to be sometimes referred to as a man, but historians also wrote that they identified as, and asked to be regarded as, a woman. They used to shave their body hair, wear make-up and wigs, and rejected being called a lord. Other evidence suggests that they asked physicians to change their body, promising them a lot of money to do so.

"They" = "he". Also Elagabalus was widely considered by his contemporaries to be batshit nuts. So there's that.

I have no trouble believing that there were open queers in pagan society, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the researchers are giving ambiguous evidence a spin to appease to current leftist sensibilities.

**please** what bullshit!

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Wales is so gay there’s no “H” in it! 🐑🤪

[Honest Nigerian]

Wherever they look … they find “evidence” that affirms their beliefs.
They are guilty of looking at the world through queer-colored glasses.

leftist sensibilities

No such thing exists.

[hanamizu]

Didn’t Elagabalus worship a black rock as a god?

[Betty Jane]

I much prefer this archeological discovery.

A small excerpt:
Light from the shaft caught the area around the handle on the tomb door. Upon closer inspection,
Carson discovered that the sacred seal, which was traditionally placed on the door following burial
rites, was still in place. Thunderstruck, he realized he was on the threshold of history. The mysterious
burial customs of the late North Americans were finally to be revealed.

Beyond the mentioned activities he whored himself out for fun. Offed per a plot engineered by his grandmother, an early transphobe

So Butt Forking has been around a long time. Who knew?

The logical fallacy of historical precedent.

There are a whole bunch of things the ancients did that should never be done again.

There's a sense in which that's true, of course:

[heartwood]

A bit assumption about Elagabalus’s pronouns there, I think.

[marktwain]

Nicely done.

--- "LGBT+ history?" Really?

How about that T stuff? Ancient trans-surgery to turn functioning vaginas into non-functioning faux-penises and ancient trans-surgery to turn functioning penises into non-functioning faux-vaginas? It's sure the screams during trans-surgery "were heard miles around."

A comment to the Wales Online article: "What load of tripe. yeh, there may have been some queer priests, but for 99.9999% of the population that actually made Wales would never have heard, seen or even known what a LGBT is. Why do we have this tosh thrust down our throats do we have equally have tales of how straight men dug the coal, mined the slate, ploughed the fields, fought the wars etc. ."

Yes this has been around for thousands of years. The Bible talks about how men should not wear women’s clothes and women should not wear men’s clothes. And there’s plenty written about homosexuality, incest, bestiality. Oh, and God despises it all!
