Što je puno, a što puno previše?
Odjebite,
pjevaju homoseksualci, transeksualci, biseksualci i ostali odmetnici od prirodnog, uobičajenog, normalnog, stoljećima uvriježenog načina obavljanja seksualnih aktivnosti, bez obzira da li za produljenje vrste ili samo za gušt,
a heteroseksualcima žele i zakonom zabraniti odjebavanje tih odmetnika,
puno je puno, ali što je previše previše je!

[this story was the result of a hoax by an Austrian Gay group]
ANCIENT EGYPT
Horus and Seth
Osaris and Seth
Niankhkhnum
and Khnumhotep (c. 2450 BCE)
Two royal officials of the Old Kingdom, buried in a single
tomb. Although each was married with children, reliefs in their joint tomb show them kissing and embracing in a way usually reserved for married couples. Prudish Egyptologists tend to claim that they're brothers, but there's no supporting textual evidence and the representations are all wrong for that. So these guys would be the first queer couple!
King Neferkare Pepy II
and General Sisenet (c. 2300 BCE)
A later (c. 1800 BCE) story has the king sneaking out of the
palace at night to visit the general, who was his lover.
Akhenaten c.1350BCE
and Smenkhkare
Late Antique Egypt:
Arianus (late third/early fourth century CE)
Roman official in Egypt known from literary and
documentary sources. In several Coptic martyrdoms, he is the
prosecuting official who comes on to the male martyrs, talking
about how beautiful they are. He offers to let the martyrs go if
they give in to him, but the martyrs invariably refuse.
*Taese
and *Tsansno (late 4th/early 5th century CE)
Two nuns punished for lesbian activity (apparently with each
other); from paper by T. Wilfong at the recent APA meeting
Papapollo and P-hello (sixth century CE)
Known from the manuscript of a love spell in which Papapollo is
trying to compel the love of P-Hello (both men)
