If I read one more "historians don't believe anyone in the past had same sex attraction! they were roommates!" I'm going to hit them on the head with my entire shelf of queer history boosk.
When I was a kid nobody ever spoke of same-sex partners, and I never heard any references to them, derogatory or otherwise. (I’m old.) Yet we kids knew with absolute certainty that the two middle-aged neighbor ladies who lived in the same house were a couple. It just wasn’t a big deal.
Boosk? I want boosk!
Yet you won’t post here for the benefit of other skeeters🧐
Well in school I distinctly remember nobody in history having sex. And it was annoying.
