To state that there were zero instances of homosexuality in ancient Scandinavia is to go too far. How would one know?

But one might also ask:

- Why would one care?

- What difference would it make?

It's valuable for young people to realize that Christian lies about the Eternity of heterosexuality Are in fact just lies. It actually is valuable for young people to know that there were people like them in history

[smitty1e]

Homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible. The nature of your argument is unclear.

[sasattack]

Yes it's really positive about homosexuality and also there's no academic ambiguity about if it was really referring to homosexuality or if that's actually a translation artifact of the middle ages

Why would one care about anything in the sciences?

> - What difference would it make?

As much difference as a lot of other form of pure scientific progress.

Perhaps more, in fact, depending on which political groups run with it.

[smitty1e]

Ah, "political groups".
