      @@kileyrowe8091 purely political, they do it with everything because they want to act as if it's always been accepted but truth is that even the so called ok to be gay greeks by all sources considered man on man sexual relations to be debauchery, pederasty was common but both greeks and especially romans looked at it with argus eyes, in fact ceasar laughed away and even confirmed many alegations of him sleeping around (for roman elites this was considdered shamefull) but one thing he opposed hard is the accusation that he had engaged passive xxx (receiving) with a former mentor. greeks themselves depicted sexual acts like this on vases but those showed saters, pretty much the creatures known for being debaucherous fiends, meaning these were meant as insult not as much else
      (homosexuallity wasn't a concept prior to the modern age btw, hence why i have not used the term, they didn't classify people on sexuality, in the medieval period they spoke of sodomy but this also included anal xxx or oral xxx or any act of it that was considdered to not serve reproduction, and truth be told none of the above actively persecuted people for it, the romans did once hunt down an xxx cult over reports of doing it with children of both sexes but even so when people were procecuted over sexual acts it was usually in times of crisis that couldn't be explained easily and usually in wartorn or suffering regions
      persecution only started in ernest in the modern age, enlightenment, people who were not "normal" have to "cured" so they invented ways to try to do so, like electroshock therapy, here the term homosexuality emerges, now the sexuality becomes a group identity

    Make another one of that, people would love stede bonnets journal. I watched a documentary about it. Its boring at first, but then it gets good.
    However, if anyone has watched "Our flag means death" and its a show about him. Everything is accurate, but there are some speculations of other things. But one part of that show is inaccurate and that's towards the end. The government at the time did not use a shooting squad to kill Bonnet and his crew, they were hung. So yeah.

      @@Dave-te5bs On the show it's pretty open-ended about his orientation. He definitely loves Stede and slept with Calico Jack, so there's that, but he also has that line about being "massaged to death by mermaids," so I think bi is a fair interpretation, if not set in stone. Stede is definitely meant to be gay, though.
      IRL though? There's literally no way to know, and in any case the number of alleged wives is so comically large that it could loop back around to "I have a girlfriend in Canada" territory.
