40 Screenshots Of People Who Are Unaware Of The Existence Of LGBTQ People And It’s Like They’re Living Under A Rock
LGBTQ history dates back to the first recorded instances of same-sex love and sexuality in ancient civilizations. Ancient Egyptian royal servants Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, who lived c. 2400 BCE, are believed to be the first recorded same-sex couple in history, so you get the perspective.
But many oblivious people refuse to believe that being homosexual, bisexual, queer, and transgender are as old as history itself. In fact, some delusional people would go as far as to think they've spotted actual mistakes in movies, books, and media that speak of LGBTQ existence in the past.
And thanks to the wonderfully colorful corner of reddit “Sappho And Her Friend,” “a sub dedicated to historical and other LGBTQ erasure from academia and other spaces,” we have the cringiest collection of such delusional examples.
The subreddit that, according to its description, is “Mostly humorous but open to serious discussion as well,” was created a year ago and has since gained a 266k-solid fanbase who waste no time to cut the crap.

No way man!!! The ancient greeks were bisexuals. No shame, until the Christianity said it was a capital fault.

ok, this is not actually gay! This is an advertisement for wives. Things were very different in the past. Not everything that looks gay to our modern sensibilities actually is. This was a very common thing to have a pic taken with friends and post to the newspaper in rural areas. It was expensive for one man to do, so he might pose with a brother or friends.

There is too much in that picture for a conservative brain to proceed correctly. Two colored women of two different cultural styles cannot also be lesbians.

Guys, people back then shared beds all the time. There was barely any privacy and servants would often sleep in the same room as their employers and their employers children. A mistress and servant sleeping in the same bed doesn't automatically mean they were a couple. The fact that they embrace is the real clue imo.

That movie is awesome indeed but I wonder how they find it "fascinating" while completely missing the point of it being such an obvious lesbian love story. The filmmaker and actresses must have mixed feelings about that kind of compliment.

I can't wait for the day when 'coming out' is no longer a thing. When I go car shopping and buy a truck instead of a car, I don't have to 'come out' as a truck owner because it's a super boring non issue. 'Cool. You bought a truck. Wanna go grab some pizza?' People's sexuality should be like that.

Downvote me as you want, but I've always found the idea of life-long platonic friendship, as seen in some historical periods, very touching. It'd be quite a dissapointment if it turned out that ALL these pairs were gay. Nothing against LGBT people, but why we can't have any non-sexual relationships?

That's a legit comment. Guys should be able to have a "bromance" without people assuming they are gay, and gay couples should be able to have a romance, without people pretending they are straight.

In the old English dub of Sailor Moon, there's a lesbian couple. So instead of making them lesbian... THEY MADE THEM COUSINS. THEY MADE A F*****G LESBIAN COUPLE COUSINS. So you have "cousins" flirting and holding hands...
