The Lie Told to Us About Our History - Ancient Greece (Mirror)

The Greeks were NOT pro-gay nor saw it as healthy or normal.

Original description:
Everyone knows the Ancient Greeks were gay right? How has this lie seemingly permeated the minds of everyone in society? I think this is just one instance, one I happen to feel strongly about, of people writ large allowing themselves to be taken in by a story, without considering whether or not it may actually be true. I made this video to do my small part to correct this error, and defend the men who I view as the progenitors of much of western society. I hope it can serve as a reminder to you going forward that vigilance paid towards such lies is the only way to keep them from spreading and doing their harm.

REUPLOADED. I had to censor the art in the video for depicting nudity, despite the fact that all of this could be seen in a public museum. Sorry for the black bars, but the video tends to not be shared around very often on youtube if it is age restricted.
