Well, despite what this thread says, the Greek thinkers, executives and war fighters between 900 BC and 150 BC were pretty gay. I mean, the entire idea that western culture evolved from requiring all guys to have homosexual tendancies to a economic polity based on non-assisted reproduction really clouds this idea. Perhaps the least common denominator would be that they admitted to participating in homosexual behavior when they were alive.
Actually, Emperor Hadrian was pretty openly Gay. He lavishly mourned the loss of his boyfriend, Antonius, and married for political convience. In fact, he was called "The Greekling".
He was also the world's most powerful Emo...
Animula, vagula, blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca
Pallidula, rigida, nudula,
Nec, ut soles, dabis iocos...
P. Aelius Hadrianus Imp.
Little soul, roamer and charmer
Body's guest and companion
Who soon will depart to places
Darkish, chilly and misty
An end to all your jokes...
