    Everyone assumed they were heterosexual lovers, why should it be assumed that it was platonic after it’s discovered they were both male?

    It’s always the same pattern:

    • Assumption is made
    • New data makes the assumption queer
    • Initial assumption is questioned

    Yeah sure, maybe it was some girl and boy who didn’t even know each other, but I somehow doubt that a comment questioning a straight relationship would even have a single upvote

        You mean that after thousands of years of repression, with still today strong religious antagonism, and annihilation of culturally significant LGBTQ elements in colonized countries, the LGBTQ community is low? Yeah, no shit.

        None of those factors were present back when the Vesivius errupted in 79BC though, so our contemporary low % is perfectly irrelevant
