>Svetonio had a great imagination
Or maybe he just wrote down some of the craziest rumors? Individually I think I could buy most of them individually, but together they just seem too much. He married a guy after castrating him and also got married to a guy with himself dressed as the bride? I guess I would consider it more believable if they seemed more 'congruent'.

Social norms were very different for regular people, imagine being the emperor, especially Nero, whose family history make GOT look like a family camping... Another example is Elagabalus, who is considered the first example of a transgender emperor in history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus In ancient times homosexuality wasn't a problem at all. Just look at Greek history
