LGBT+ Since Ancient History 🗺️- Prof. Moshe Sluhovsky

Hidden from history – In this episode we will be discovering some of the earliest Gay poems ever written, more than 1,000 years ago. We will discuss and learn about the term Pederasty and its effect on current day definitions. "We know only what other leaders in previous generations wanted us to know, that’s why we put a lot of effort in reconstruction" We talked with prof. Moshe Sluhovsky, specialist in the fields of Europe and sexuality at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Along with our conversation, like two archaeologists, we have analyzed several literary remains that reveal so much about different ancient Gay cultures throughout history and the Islamic world- was there love or just sexual attraction?
