    Bleh.

    For years, Ireland had a gay Taoiseach. Yeah, he’s not the president and so not the head of state but he’s the one in power.

      It’s also a question of how far back we’re willing to go.

      A number of Roman rulers had homosexual relationships, including the Emperor Trajan, the Emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous, and the Emperor Elagabalus.

          So what does that mean then? Is there a casually sucking dick but saying “no homo” means that it’s not gay?

            Have you heard of bisexuality? Or situational bisexuality, such as the relationships that can happen in prisons? (And I’m not talking about sexual assault in the second case.)
