I thought Tacitus said we drowned fags in bogs…

Oh no
> Two historians of the Late Empire who wrote after the triumph of Christianity expressed disgust that Germanic tribes practiced pederasty. Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 380 A.D.) mentioned the Taifales, among whom a boy continued in a passive relationship until he slew a bear or boar (Gothic Wars, 2.14). Procopius (c. 550) cited the Heruls, amongst whom youths remained douloi (slaves), presumably sexually available for an adult warrior, and fought without shields until they proved their courage (History, 31, 9. 5). Thus, even if the passage from Tacitus referred to homosexuals, other evidence shows that the Germans had no single rule of conduct or viewpoint about homosexuality.
> When the various Germanic tribes, having established kingdoms on Roman soil, put their legal customs into writing, only the Visigoths in Spain penalized homosexual acts.

Of course
> Bardaisan of Edessa wrote that “In the countries of the north — in the lands of the Germans and those of their neighbors, handsome [noble] young men assume the role of wives [women] towards other men, and they celebrate marriage feasts.” (2nd century CE)

The Heruli tribe were a bunch of faggots too.

Yeah being gay is a natural occurrence and exists in every society. I'm not retarded.
John Johnson
different tribes, different customs, i guess. they didn't have a centralized governance. i mean even among the greeks, the city-states of the Anatolian coast forbade homoesexuality, while Athens and Thebes and maybe Sparta allowed it. i get your objections, but you're Australian, thus of Anglo-Saxon, thus of Germanic origin. good or bad, they are your ancestors. You are of Anglo-Germanic descent, right, user? right? you aren't a Chandrapapandra BobVagene migrant, nor a Ching Chong business man cheap land buyer, who has recently converted to Christianity and thinks he or she has a say in how the whites conduct their issues and how whites view their past, right?

In Sweden we have a faggy protestant tradition of boys and girls dressing up as "easter witches" yes even boys.
Gabriel Ortiz
thats not being gay in the modern sense
they are just men who have sex with men
Luke Morgan
>who wrote after the triumph of Christianity expressed disgust that Germanic tribes practiced pederasty
I highly doubt that. Early Christians who could write were quite literally propagandists working for the Church that wanted to demonise "Pagans".

This is after you die. Fucking post part of a sentence lmao

also, something that jumps out at me is this:
>Procopius (c. 550) cited the Heruls, amongst whom youths remained douloi (slaves), PRESUMABLY sexually available for an adult warrior
why presume? were they or were they not buttboys? if it is not explicitly said in a primary source, why does Mr. Historian presume?

that fag would have been beheaded a week into living in a real pagan tribe.

True but I think we've moved past the idea that a person who has sex with a male can only enjoy fucking males ever and not fucking females as well.
Dominic Peterson
the thing with pre-Christian Indo-European societies is that young boys and slaves weren't seen as fully men, thus were seen as closer to women. Until one reached manhood and went through the rite of passage, one wasn't a man. thus, some tribes, including here Greeks and Romans, thought it ok for them to sexually exploit these - what they considered - lesser beings. read here:
>Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 380 A.D.) mentioned the Taifales, among whom a boy continued in a passive relationship until he slew a bear or boar (Gothic Wars, 2.14)
buttboy until one killed a bear or a boar, which was likely a rite of passage into manhood
>Procopius (c. 550) cited the Heruls, amongst whom youths remained douloi (slaves), presumably sexually available for an adult warrior, and fought without shields until they proved their courage (History, 31, 9. 5)
assuming the presumption is true and the name of the historian isn't Shekelstein Shekelberg, again, buttboys until they reached a manhood/warrior rite of passage
the institution of pederasty in some ancient Greek city-states also worked the same way. the teen was the older man's buttboy (though penetration was forbidden, so they probably just made out), until he reached a certain age and his rite of passage into manhood/warriorhood was complete

christsisters.....lets BTFO those larpagans!

That comes from the same Paul who also said:
> “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,” 1 Corinthians 6:9 KJV
-effeminate: (of a man) having or showing characteristics regarded as typical of a woman; unmanly.
Although the bible is a mess of contradictions which no one should take seriously. Not a Christian anyway. Just hate religious LARPers of all kind.

church turns people into trannies and faggots
