People who think homosexuality was invented in the 20th century by white people can feel free to contemplate my writeup on 1,000 years of recorded homosexuality in premodern #Korea . https://ljwrites.blog/posts/queer-premodern-korea/ And a lot of these records are by people who did not even remotely like what they were reporting.
My 13th-century ancestor Yi Gyubo, on the other hand, celebrated the hell out of his learned monk friend's romantic relationship with a young man because dude was cool that way. Neither he nor contemporary record-keepers found the idea of dudes in love with dudes anachronistic or irrelevant, I guess no one gave them the memo that gay people weren't supposed to exist yet. #QueerHistory #history #LjBlogs
