[edit] Intro
I added this section to the intro:
- Although many historians caution against projecting contemporary sexual identities onto past cultures in which lives were lived very differently and in which contemporary sexual categories do not neatly fit, events from the distant past have been included in order to give some sense of the historical development of contemporary sexual identities.
Yeah, its long, its wordy, it refers to the article it appears in, and it has a bit of an unencyclopedic tone - it needs work, no doubt. But, something of this sort is necessary, since we're dealing with a timeline that necessarily includes things outside its scope. -Seth Mahoney 02:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where to start?
I so don't want to see Nero's name at the head of the list. But really, shouldn't we at least be starting with ancient Greece? -Seth Mahoney 02:16, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
One note: We do, really, need citations for every claim in this article, at least one per date, and the best citations would be primary sources - that is, if we can dig up a copy of Justinian's Code, we should reference that, not some secondary reading of that. -Seth Mahoney 02:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elagabalus/Heliogabalus
There might be something we can add about this Roman emperor to the article. Exploding Boy 06:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "[Year] in gay rights"
I don't see why all the years from the '60s on are listed as "[year] in gay rights". What's the opinion on this? I think they should be pipe-linked. Having "in gay rights" listed repeatedly is unnecessary considering the context. Äþelwulf See my contributions. 09:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
