Some idiot wrote an essay on Alphabet presence in middle ages... and all he's given is a list of crappy revisionist essays from social studies morons. The lack of objectivity is in the very title. What a bunch of sad fucks. Oh and nobody denied they existed. Everybody denies that they were accepted in any way or form.
lol yes I saw that. They're also using CURRENT DAY figures (which say ******** like 40-50% of the population is gay/bi) and applying that to the middle ages. What a crock of ****. Just like the "emo" and then "scene" crap, a lot of it is just people needing to follow whatever the fad of the day is, to desperately apply a "label" to themselves to give themselves some sort of "identity". Strange how some just desperately need to "stand out" and belong to some specific group, and can't exist just literally being themselves, otherwise. Without all the current day pandering and having it be "trendy", there would be MUCH less LGBT people back then, even the closeted ones.
Also yes they completely missed the mark that no-one said they wouldn't EXIST (though in lesser numbers), but they certainly wouldn't be so ******* open about it, especially in heavy Christian times. They'd absolutely keep that private and behind closed doors, just how NoAlphabets does (leaving those alone where it's not "in your face"). But of course that takes a brain cell to realise, something that the wikipedia tard clearly doesn't have.
They also create their own evidence nowadays. Social studies students have to do something don't they, and that will be writing essays that then get "peer reviewed" (by other Social Studies pushers) and then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy where they attempt to re-write history and use their own studies as the evidence that never existed. Fortunately a bit of common sense tells you that LGBT stuff will have been kept to the privacy of the bedroom and back-room brothels, back when you'd have gotten burned at stake for even hinting at such in your local society. It was all historically "taboo" for a reason, and it was taboo because it wasn't "accepted".
What's even funnier is the older Ed Greenwood posts about the Forgotten Realms pitch it slightly different, but with the same end result. Where the gods aren't that "bothered" about what you do in the bedroom and besides a few select regions, no-one else is either. Kinda makes all the "Hi by the way did you know I have a HUSBAND?!" writing stand out even more. Especially when one uses his last few words in the mortal realm, just to make you aware of that, lol.
