Same-sex relationships pre-date the Bible, the pyramids, and—if we’re being honest—probably Homo sapiens. From prehistoric rock art to royal Egyptian manicurists, we trace the long, strange history of LGBT people before religion and politics turned queerness into a capital crime.
In Part 2 of our series, we follow how acceptance slowly mutates into suspicion, punishment, and full-blown hysteria. From Ancient Greece and Roman smear campaigns to medieval burnings, crusader paranoia, and the Buggery Act, this episode charts how empires repeatedly turned sexuality into a political weapon.
Along the way: Julius Caesar the “every man’s woman,” a teenage Roman emperor allegedly requesting gender reassignment surgery, knights burned for sodomy, homemade leather strap-ons confusing German courts, and the last men executed for homosexuality in Britain.
We also move into the modern era — cross-dressing laws, Nazi persecution, chemical castration, McCarthyism, and the road to Stonewall.
