You can try to PWN all you want, Felyx. But you actually have to cite facts in support of your assertion before you get acknowledgement and "the all-powerful did it so it must have been acceptable" isn't proof of anything. I could certainly talk about Hadrian but why would I? Your commentator talked about Nero and Elagabusa who were both heavily disliked and either forced to commit suicide (Nero) or hacked apart by the Praetorian Guard (Elagabusa). If you want me to discuss Hadrian as proof of the acceptance of same-sex relationships in Rome, talk about him in your own argument. And if you think I'm "bashing gays" I eagerly await your evidence.

I encourage you to read the Trial Transcripts in their entirety and think about the testimony for a while. Not just the personal stories, all of it.

If you don't want to get PWNED Kay, then admit SSM existed as the posted comments suggested (I incorrectly stated article) and talk about Hadrian instead of trying to subtly gay bash on a gay friendly site.

You are soooo right Fiona64,,,,you know what may have(and I say "may have" because we were not there so it is all subjective, speculation, propaganda, and hearsay)…anyway do you, Wade, or Dave T. kow what may have been true and the norm of the Romans?…That they believed in many Gods and Goddess, indulged in many cherry picking in a group situation, thought the world revolved around them, and all men wore dresses….lol
