My friends say that I'm gay because I don't like football. What a bunch of idiots. I'm gay because I like cock.

99% of women say they don't like men who wear leather pants. Which works out perfectly, since 100% of men who wear leather pants don't like women.

How do 5 gay men walk? One Direction!

Why did God create gay men? So fat girls could dance.

Sexuality is a topic often whitewashed out of our history books, and we rarely see the place of LGBT people in the ancient world mentioned in television documentaries.
Most of us know that the ancient pagan world was more tolerant of homosexuality than the one god religions that would follow. But how tolerant were the ancient Greeks and Romans? It turns out they weren’t nearly as tolerant as you might like to think.
Neither the Greeks or the Romans had a concept of homosexuality or heterosexuality.
Men were assumed to be attracted to both males and females, and to express a preference for just one sex was considered eccentric.
But as both societies were intensely patriarchal what was important in sexual relationships was the status of who did the penetrating and their age.
In this world the notion of sex between two grown men was deeply taboo as it was seen to reduce the passive partner to the level of a woman.
Indeed if the Greeks and Romans did not outlaw it, it was because the shame of the act was punishment enough – though the weight of shame fell mostly on the penetrated.
Of greater taboo still was for an older man to allow himself to be penetrated by a younger man – the modern word ‘pathetic’ derives from the Latin for such a man.
The only act considered more taboo was cunnilingus – to the Ancient’s minds as dangerously close to a man being penetrated by a woman as was possible.
Contrary to popular belief, anal sex for the Greeks and Romans was primarily a heterosexual act. There was no taboo on it occurring between men and women and it was the most reliable form of contraception available so would have been a regular part of the sex lives of any married couple.
Where sex between males was deemed acceptable to occur was between men and youths, and in theory it was only supposed to be inter-crucial (where one partner grips the other’s penis between his thighs) though from the writings the Greeks and Romans have left to us, it was often not.
In both societies youths were considered to be able to consent to sex from around their mid teens, which was similar to the age that girls were considered ready for marriage, and it was acceptable for youths to be in same-sex relationships until they could grow a full beard – and for this reason, there were all manner of depilatory products on sale in order to help you keep your boyfriend respectable!
After this age in Greece, the young man was expected to find a wife and go about starting a family, having been mentored by his older partner, with the two men staying friends.
In practice, however, many of these relationships probably would have carried on behind closed doors.
In Greece such relationships occurred between free born males – though there were also male prostitutes.
Many of the most famous names to come down to us in history from the Greek world have been same-sex attracted – from bisexual Alexander the Great whose father Phillip destroyed the all-gay Sacred Band of Thebes to the philosophers Plato and Socrates.
Few lesbian voices come to us from the ancient world but the lyric poet Sappho is a notable exception and her love poems for other women speak down to us through the ages. And of course, the island of her birth, Lesbos, gives us the word ‘lesbian’ that we still use today.
Sex between women wasn’t illegal, but, like the Victorians, the Greeks and Romans simply refused to believe it happened.
In comparison, sex between men in the Roman world was a mostly more sinister affair.
Having sex with a free born Roman male could see you up on charges for ruining the youth’s future reputation. But slaves and foreigners were all fair game.
Male and female prostitutes openly plied their trade on the streets of Rome. But in truth any slave was a sex slave if their master so desired, and it was primarily through master-slave relationships that sex between males occurred in Ancient Rome.
Thus when the emperor Hadrian took a male lover in the form of a Bythinian youth named Antinous, as a foreigner it was perfectly acceptable for Antinous to appear in public next to the emperor and his wife Vibia Sabina as his lover.
Hadrian and Antinous were lovers for five years until Antinous fell from a boat in the Nile and drowned. Some have suggested he killed himself to avoid shaming the emperor as he grew older.
Heartbroken, Hadrian had Antinous declared a god, built temples to him all over the empire, named a star after him and built a city in Egypt, Antinopolis, in his honor.
When the Roman Empire became Christian the temples of the cult of Antinous were destroyed – though many of the statues ended up in the Vatican art collections where they were seen by the artist Raphael, who used his likeness when painting angels as his model of male perfection.
Both the Greeks and Romans could appeal to religion in their belief that their behavior was moral, though we might have a different view on what is proper today.
For the Greeks, Zeus had his male lover Ganymede, and Plato rated this love as higher than that found in marriage.
The Romans had the same gods by different names so Zeus became Jupiter and Ganymede became Catamitus.
Homosexual characters were often mocked as figures of fun in bawdy Roman comedies, but at the same time same-sex couples, cross dressers and male prostitutes would have been common sights on the streets.
And some couples did buck the discrimination that was thrown at them by publicly celebrating their commitment through same-sex marriage.
These include two emperors – Nero and Elagabalus, but we know of many others.
Such marriages were not legally recognized but by 342AD the dual Christian emperors Constantius and Constans had them banned on threat of death, and homosexuality in the Roman Empire was silenced for centuries to come.
So what is the verdict on how the Greek and Roman civilizations treated their LGBT citizens? Certainly there was a lot of discrimination and extreme social stigma for any relationship between men that fell outside of a very tight set of parameters.
However compared to what was to follow into much of the 20th Century, they were centuries ahead of their time.

Nearly four years ago the U.S. Supreme Court made a historic ruling on marriage equality that changed my life. Not only did my wife and I gain the freedom to marry, but we also won the right to live together and create a family in America, a country where we felt safe to live and love.

Before that day, we were one of many binational same-sex couples trying to figure out how to stay together despite the fact that neither of us could apply for permanent residence in each other’s country. As President Trump’s new travel ban was announced, I realized that LGBT people around the world who had that same dream to live and love fearlessly by immigrating to the U.S. would have their hopes dashed. Many will have no choice other than to continue experiencing violence, abuse, discrimination, and — in some cases — torture in their countries of origin because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status.

President Trump’s new travel ban suspends the entry of nationals from six countries that are predominantly Muslim (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) for 90 days. The order suspends the entire U.S. refugee program for 120 days and restricts the total number of refugees admitted to the U.S. to 50,000 per year. The fact is that this new executive order will bar thousands of LGBT and HIV-positive people from seeking refuge in the United States.

This order and the political climate regarding immigration has dashed the hopes of LGBT people fleeing persecution in some of the countries in which they face the worst abuse and discrimination. Also distressing, the order instructs federal authorities to publicize regular statistics related to crimes committed by immigrants. Just the simple fact of publishing crime data, a move highlighted in the president’s joint address to Congress, unfairly strengthens the myth that immigrants are also criminals.

We should call it like it is: This order is aimed at agitating public perception of Muslims and opening yet another door to hate crimes and other crimes at a time when mosques throughout the country are the target of vandals and Muslim people the target of hate violence. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s most recent report on hate crimes, there was an “enormous leap in anti-Muslim hate groups, from 34 in 2015 to 101 last year — a 197% increase.” FBI statistics show “that hate crimes against Muslims grew by 67 percent in 2015, the year in which Trump launched his campaign.” Let’s not forget that federal and local authorities are currently investigating the recent shooting of two engineers from India — one man died — as possible hate crimes related to the climate of hostility toward foreigners in the United States.

Unfortunately, the travel ban is not only concerning for Muslims and nationals of the six countries specified, but for most ethnic minorities. Since President Trump’s inauguration, many of us have worn our identities with trepidation. As the administration’s policies oppress our identities one by one, it sometimes feels like the travel ban is another clear and unapologetic command to accept bigotry.

As a Latina immigrant and LGBT woman, I have felt encouraged by listening to the voices of civil rights leaders across America representing different causes, creeds, races, sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations who say in unison: “I am Muslim, I am a woman, I am an immigrant, I am LGBT, I am black.”

It’s been almost four years since the historic advances in marriage equality created immigration benefits for binational same-sex couples. Today I am reminded more than ever how fortunate my wife and I are—and how fragile our rights still are. I believe the LGBT community has been called upon to condemn the many faces of discrimination. Sadly, being targeted simply for who we are is nothing new. This travel ban is no exception.

More Americans think President Trump is doing a poor job than for any other recent president.
Polling ahead of President Trump’s 100th day in office, which is April 29, has found he is proving unpopular among Americans.
According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday, 45 percent of Americans believe Trump is doing a poor job.
Of those who believe Trump is doing a good job, 19 percent say he is off to a fair start, while 35 percent believe he is doing a good or great job.
This compares badly with his predecessor, President Obama.
In 2009, a combined 54 percent of Americans said Barack Obama was off to a good or great start within his first 100 days as president.
25 percent said Obama was off to a fair start, while 21 percent called his performance to that point poor – less than half as many as for Trump.
Trump’s overall approval rating has slid another four points from last month, also.
It now sits at 40 percent, lower than any of his Democratic and Republican predecessors.
Obama’s approval rating stood at 61 percent at this point in his administration, while George W. Bush’s was at 56 percent and Bill Clinton’s was at 52 percent.

An Australian dad has plastered his car in marriage equality stickers to support his gay son.
Geoff Thomas is a retired plumber, Vietnam veteran and loving dad of a gay son named Nathan.
Since Nathan came out 12 years ago Geoff has supported his son and advocated for marriage.
Now he’s taking ‘spreading the message’ a bit further – by covering his utility car in pro-marriage equality stickers.
‘I was conditioned to be homophobic, and then one day my son comes out to me,’ he told BuzzFeed.
‘I had to ask myself the question – what is it about gays that I didn’t like? After that, I decided it was unfounded fear, ignorance and prejudice.
‘Then I came to the view that my son wasn’t equal in law and that really got up my nose, so I became a very strong advocate for marriage equality.’
Now he’s driving around in a car decked out in stickers, including those representing Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).
It also features the slogan ‘every man and his dog supports marriage equality’, a picture of Geoff and his dog, and the order for people to call their MP and Senator.
He normally spends a lot of time driving around Sydney, but Geoff said he wants his message to be seen by more people.
So he’s going on a road trip, covering Melbourne, Mount Gambia, and the Reiverina region to show his support and speak to as many people as possible.
‘To me it’s a civil rights issue. It’s got nothing to do with religion, nothing to do with gay people having babies,’ he said.
‘In the 12 years I’ve been advocating for this, I’m yet to hear a reasonable argument against it.’
For the curious, Geoff is documenting his trip on his Twitter account.
So far, he has already met a number of insipiring people who all shared their own message about marriage equality.
