Greek gods gay sex
In our sexual histories series, authors scout changing sexual mores from antiquity to today.
In recent years, we have seen significant advances won for LGBT rights through hard-fought legal cases and well-targeted political campaigns. Yet it is worth remembering that for decades, recourse to such methods was not available to LGBT people. The law-court and the parliament were deaf to their pleas. For many, it was only in their dreams that they could run away oppression.
One should not underplay the importance of such fantasies. They provided succour and hope in a grim planet. It was comforting to imagine a time before Christianity told you that the acts of love that you committed were a sin or the law pronounced that your public displays of affection were acts of “gross indecency”.
