Edit: oh, I assume you mean "gently caress it, may as well change two rules at once". On the plus this got me to google Naruhito. Water nerd, road nerd, AND viola player?

icantfindaname posted:Pretty much every premodern culture was fine with being gay if you were an elite man. Modern sexual morality is just that, a product of the modern period, as I understand it. My favorite Renaissance Italy homosexual-relations story was that a cardinal in Venice (?) got real worried about the increasing popularity of male prostitutes, so he lobbied for female prostitutes to be able to advertise their wares visually in public.
