Male on male sex was also a fact of life across many Christian communities, including/especially with monks, eunuchs, and other segregated communities, and people were certainly not frequently put to death for this. You can look up medieval crimes and punishments around the 12th century I think for a decent record of this.

- RaiseProfits 7y agoThe bible prohibits many things that never really took root as social mores; I think the transition into society is super fascinating and arguably is an invention of sorts.
