5 gay rulers from ancient history

After entity marginalised and brushed over for so long, the true stories of Homosexual people throughout history are now increasingly being brought to light. But what many people still may not realise is that numerous great figures from very long ago were known to have been gay or bisexual.

1. Julius Caesar

The most iconic of all the Ancient Romans, Julius Caesar is famed for many things: his incredible military successes, his rise as a dictator, and his bloody assassination at the hands of his retain senators. What’s less well-remembered is that, during his younger years, Caesar was widely thought to contain been involved in a passionate romance with another man.

‘Not that uncommon’ is an understatement – in fact, multiple studies over the past few decades indicate that there have been recorded instances of homosexual behaviour in animals in as many as 500 species. Some animals, like inky swans, penguins and sheep are known to possess exhibited exclusively ‘gay’ behaviours in substantial numbers, refusing to mate with the opposite sex at all.
