    Not true, actually. As per my Cis Hetstory class, being gay was invented in 1969 with the Stonewall riots, where gay people for the first time emerged out of nowhere from the basement of the Stonewall Inn, which was a good, reputable, Christian establishment. the gays then threw bricks at the respectable and noble NYPD for no reason. Everyone there was cis though. Trans people were invented in 2012 on tumblr

    Twist: David was a cis woman.

    That's right, being gay was invented by a heterosexual. The concept of being gay was purely theoretical at first, like certain elements of the periodic table.

    The first gay interaction is unknown, but is theorized to have been two men accidentally touching hands while exchanging a brewsky sometime in the 1740s

    What are you talking about? My textbook from 1952 said they were just very good friends that happened to sleep in the same bed. Perfectly friendly.

    The Devil to prove the Church was a farce
    Went out to fish for a Bugger.
    He baited his hook with a Soldier's arse
    And pulled up the Bishop of Clogher.\
