terpsikeraunos:

if we can’t apply modern concepts of sexuality to the ancient world…that means that literally no one was straight. no one. heterosexuals never existed in ancient rome or greece. they didn’t exist until the term was coined in the 19th century.

but for some reason this concept only comes up when people are trying to erase lgbt+ people from ancient history. strange coincidence.

same thing when we talk about trans&nonbinary people and characters in history. suddenly we don’t have enough “proof” or the terms are just “contextually incorrect” so we are silenced and robbed off historical representation.
