@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK pairs of Roman consuls would review the moral status of each of Rome’s 5,000 equites/knights annually? If one was #infamia/#ignominia for letting himself be penetrated anally, they'd take away his horse, home, property, & right to vote. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory

Sept 6, 2018. India's Supreme Court struck down Section 377, a colonial-era law criminalizing consensual gay sex. 1.3 billion people. One ruling. The arc is long.

@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.social“If a man has little or no fundamental interest in the opposite sex, he is not apt to be potent.” Some doctors even tried to “cure” homosexuality in their efforts to cure impotence. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

@howsexgotscrewedup.bsky.socialDYK consorts of #MagnaMater, #Cybele, pledged #SexualPurity? Her priests—galli—#castrated themselves, penis as well as testicles & #CrossDressed as women.

Many were #lesbian or #trans, but only men could serve among the troops, so, like #JoanofArc, many imitated guys to enjoy their prerogatives. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt.
