    The opposite is also true; ancient Greece now has a cultural reputation for being very progressive when it comes to homosexuality, but… If you actually read the kinds of things Ancient Greeks say about it… I mean sure, they mention gay a lot more, but there’s a lot of making fun of gayness.

    Imagine going back in time to touristically “immerse” yourself in the “progressive” ancient Greeks, and all you find are rich people and states owning slaves and everyone making fun of gay people.
