It was super fun to make this during pride month and especially in collaboration with Kris over at This Week in Queer History.

If you liked this then I'm sure you'll love this video that gets way more into the people behind the grand arc of the history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t484oKJwR70

Most Excellent Thanks 😊🎉❤

I always find it interesting when someone from today or even from a different culture try to interpret what people thought in centuries past.

I see Tel Aviv still have their internet running.

People should be free to be what they really are, but it's irrelevant what people used to do. Fight for your rights to be what you want to be now. Even if it's unprecedented.

5:40 Homosexuality as an orientation is not a modern invention. The Greeks did not treat same‑sex desire merely as a category of acts; they discussed it openly as a category of persons. Aristotle, in the Politics, refers to men who habitually seek relations with other men, distinguishing a class of individuals on the basis of their characteristic pattern of desire and then speculating about the causes of that disposition. This is not an act‑based taxonomy; it is a person‑based one.

In Plato’s Symposium, in Aristophanes’ speech, we find an explicit taxonomy of sexual orientations: some men are drawn towards a male companion, some women towards a female one, and some men and women are drawn towads the sex that is opposite to theirs. The framework is unmistakably about the direction of desire, not about isolated behaviours. It presupposes that erotic longing can be fundamentally oriented — that individuals possess stable patterns of attraction that define them.

It happened & was talked about, but it was rarely socially acceptable in most cases. This is more theory than fact, & seen mostly through a modern lense. In many cultures men have been allowed to hug & kiss each other, it usually was not sexual.

Traceable evidence 🧾 the system

The real fatigues

This video is propaganda misleading people in believing a lie.
Ridiculous.

In ancient Greece there wss no word for gay or homosexual or whatever. All this hatred for the human nature came from the jews and their spin off, the Christianity

I miss old greece, and their gorgeous young boys.

Furthermore, the Ancient Greeks believed that only males (including male couples) could go to Elysian Fields after death. In Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus," he has him say, "The word 'damnation' terrifies not me, for I confound hell in Elysium." In Dante's Comedia, we have Aeneus meeting the shade of Anchises in Elysian Fields.  Even in the Bible, Galatians 3:28 tells us, "There is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

How do u separate the men from the boys in greece?    A crow bar 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cliff, your knowledge, grace and genuine desire to educate has been a gift. Thank you for working with me and for being brave and bold enough to dive into this topic.

This is a joke right??

US: Don’t Say Gay!
Ancient Greece: There’s nothing stronger than a bond between two battle bros, BRING US ALL THE GAY MEN YOU CAN FIND!

They bringing it back with the manosphere

Too coy and teasing
