​​​​​​So, I think some people have been saying that being LGBTQ+ is 'new', or 'an invention'. It's not an invention, and it's certainly not new.

In some places in ancient Greece, gay relationships between boys in higher class society were allowed and not hidden, but we don't know how people in society treated them (homophobia is nothing new-LGBTQ+ people aren't new either). We also don't know much about how society treated women in relationships or whether it was hidden or not, but we do know about Sappho. (Still angry at Google for thinking Sappho has a husband: she's a lesbian, Harold*).

Some gods also had both 'man parts' and 'woman parts' (Intersex people, you are gods. Bow down to intersex people.)

Many Indigenous tribes have more than two genders (the 2S in 2SLGBTQ+ stands for two-spirit, which was put first to symbolize that Indigenous people were here first) and the people with these genders are sometimes thought to have special abilities and have higher positions. These identities are usually considered LGBTQ+ because when people to from the arrived, they had the thought that there were only two genders, based on birth sex.

*It's this mini comic where there was erasure (Harold, they were getting married and kissing, they're clearly not straight) from someone named Harold. Look up the phrase 'they're lesbians, Harold' and you'll probably find it.

These are just three things, and there are plenty more.

Even though I already know about it, I still love hearing about how some indigineous tribes had multiple genders. I hate people saying "just pick a gender" LIKE HOW DO YOU PICK?

YES

I WAS GOING TO SAY ABOUT THE TRIBES HAVING TWO SPIRITS

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I RESEARCH A LOT ABOUT THEM FOR... SPECIFIC REASONS!

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT!!!

AND ALL HOMOPHOBES OUT THERE SHOULD NOW KNOW THAT IT EXISTS AND THE WORD'S GETTING OUT!

BECAUSE THERE'S A REASON WHY THEY'RE CALLED NATIVE AMERICANS!

THEY WERE HERE FIRST AND WE SHOULD RESPECT THEIR PRACTICES!

AND ALSO, THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY HAD LESS PROBLEMS! IT WAS BECASE THEY UNDERSTOOD THEIR TWO SPIRITS (which everyone has btw)!

Sorry I just got excited when you mentioned Native Americans XD

But yes. Great post. I am in love with this.
