>>312842nearly all major philosophers were gay men. you know this, right? all the original greek philosophers (with aristoteles as an exception) were quite literally gay mystics who hated w/o/m/e/n. gnosticism is EXTREMELY gay. the G in freemasonry indeed stands for gnosis, but just as well may stand for gay. there is a particular verb in latin which is "paedicare" which means "to sodomize"; however the origin of this verb is the ancient greek verb "paiderastein/παιδεραστειν", which itself comes from one of the words for boy "pais/παις", which declines to "paidos/παιδος". Read the following sentences from a philosophical encyclopedia I found some years ago:
“Those men who are ‘fertile in body’ fall in love with w/om/en and beget children (208e), but those who are ‘fertile in soul’ transcend the limitation (209a), and the ‘right approach’ is open to them alone.”
“The erastes tries to educate the eromenos (209c; cf. Xen. Smp. 8.23) and ‘paiderastein rightly’ (211b) is philosophical education.”
