After the 3rd century there weere up and down regarding homosexuality perception in society, in the Roman elites and in the plebe.... sometimes one hierarchy or group of people support it or like it.. sometimes not... it changed quite a lot.

It was for sure that way until the 6th-7th century where some  kind hole of social knowledge appears regarding  a lot of social perceptions, but I took for granted that it probably was more or less like during the roman times... it changed with the wind, and teh area...

But during the cathar push and other heretic movements, homosexuality was fixed as something permanently bad (if maybe not prosecuted, I do not know enough). And I think the first clear documents appear then (or that's what I guessed from what I read)

then it was certainly prosceuted by the spansih inquisition.. together with red-haired powerful woman.

So it was strange to read that it was otherwise. But I think anotehr diary commented that good perception of homosexuality was confused with good perception of male bonding in some eastern areas durign the 18th century.

In other words, a comment to say ,that we probably have similar sources.
