  • An emotional Rick Santorum stepped up his anti-gay rhetoric this week, saying jerks like Philadelphia's Nicholas Wiseman should not be allowed to marry a man they barely know when there's someone out there who truly cares for them.

      @Wo Long yeah, you got to be careful when you look at stuff like that from the last couple thousand years, especially when it's vague.
      Relationships and expectations between sexes were MUCH different then, there wasn't as much emphasis on sexual or romantic tension as there is now.
      History teachers probably say that for a reason, it's unlikely that a teen growing up in a sexually liberal society knows enough about the historical context to say that their headcanon of the one true ship actually applies to the situation at hand.

      @@Ladifour Yeah but there's this poem about this guy who says "If Moses saw my friends face as he smiles, he would not have written in his torah, though shalt not lie with a man" and the historians say the guy is straight because he said friend instead of lover. (when it's debatable if there was a term for lover at the time). Friendships were different back then because there was less of a thing on personal closeness, everyone shared beds, helped each other get dressed, cuddled, held hands, if you were really close you might give each other goodbye pecks, and it was no big deal. (honestly it was probably a better way of doing things then our society) So yes, you couldn't say a guy who called his friend handsome or a picture of two Victorian men half hugging is gay, but still. Bros don't write love sonnets about their bros.

      Like, a fair amount of those ancient myths and stories featured gay heroes with their boyfriends being their closest companions in their epic battles.

    • @Ladifour
      @Ladifour 3 роки тому +4

      @@qty1315 That is correct, but it wasn't that simple and there's a period between that and now which gave rise to the homophobic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam (though Islam and earlier Christianity was less homophobic).
      The Greeks & Romans didn't have the concept of an individual sexual orientation based on character, that was only invented in the last century or so, they didn't think about a partners sex as much. The Abrahamic faiths viewed same-sex relations as based on acts instead, which needed be punished and marginalized accordingly.
      The Greeks thought that if one was a free man being penetrated by another free man, they were acting like a woman, which was frowned upon and why they avoided this through having tutor-like relationships between younger men and older boys (where the tutor had to demonstrate it wasn't purely sexual), having penetrative sex with slaves and non-penetrative thigh sex with free men, which is still visible in their art. This permissive attitude later shifted toward the negative under the Romans and Medieval Christianity until it picked up steam in the Modern era and was enforced through the disciplinary power of the state and medicine.
      The Greeks, and later the Christians, also didn't have a single word for love, but divided them into different concepts: Agape for unconditional love, Eros for sensual love, Philia for brotherly love, and Storge for familial love, among others. Plato himself talked of of Eros between men as the higher form of Eros (which is where the term "platonic love" comes from), but later he reversed his position and started arguing against same-sex relations as ugly and unholy.

After he was rescued by those rugged fishermen, pulled out of the water with their hairy arms, he went back to their cabin where he hasn't emerged for a week, recuperating from his ordeal.
    "I've been gasping a lot, moaning from the pain, as it's been very hard to swallow.

    This makes so much sense it's bizarre. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if there was some tragic college heartbreak behind Santorum's views on gay people.

      This is now officially my headcanon. I wrote a character once, a middle-aged black lady vehemently opposed to her teen daughter dating her white former best friend's son, pretending to be pro-black but the best friend knows she had her heart broken by the white boy she went to prom with. This is the gay version of that plot my teenage brain fever dreamed up (years after this sketch came out but I'm just seeing it now) and as such it's been on repeat for the past half hour. I wish I *had* seen this back then because it's absolute gold. As a matter of fact I wish child me had even known the Onion made videos because they were probably even funnier when topical (and I was the type of weird child that would have watched this stuff).

      SNL is mostly dumbed down for normal TV so they have to cater to idiots, however they can have some good moments. The Onion used to do whatever the fuck it wanted, so they could be as smart as they want. Shame it didn't last. Clever entertainment is never as popular or mainstream as the dumb-as-hell rock bottom bullshit you see everywhere.
