Fun Fact! While in the modern day, it is sometimes considered that the Romans referred to homosexuality as ‘Greek love’, I read a series of works recently that suggest that disdainful Roman references to ‘Greek love’ referred to excessive affection of any romantic kind, including heterosexual married affection.

What, you prefer your LOVER over your DUTY!? Fucking barbarian, smh.

Unfortunately, Christianity’s rise in the Late Roman Empire would destroy the relative tolerance of LGBT folk previously enjoyed, as the Abrahamic origins of Christianity include some pretty core anti-homosexual injunctions.
