Apollo gay

Omar Apollo‘s new album God Said Nohas already won over the hearts of millions. The GLAAD Media Award nominated artist’s second studio album is as melodic and moving as the first. To chat about God Said No, as successfully as how much his life has changed since his song “Evergreen” blew up on TikTok, Apollo joined NYLON Magazine for a wide ranging conversation.

Apollo talked with NYLON’s Mickey Rapkin about everything from crushes and astrology, to more serious topics like what it was like for him to grow up as a gay son of immigrants in rural Indiana. “There was no Mexicans around… I was called ugly all the time,” he explained. “I had a lot of anger and resentment towards my family and the people that I loved.”

He explains how when he turned 19, he was living in a friend’s attic while working at a Guitar Center. This is when he started uploading his music to Spotify. He describes his success at this indicate of his life as “super confusing.” He would be invited “into a beautiful house and having a wonderful conversation and then go back to living in the attic with black mold.” This helped him realize that, “

“In order to free homosexuality from entity viewed through the lens of pathology and perversity, we may need to return it to the gods.” Christine Downing, Myths and Mysteries of Identical Sex Love.

Greek historian Plutarch (lived 46-c119 CE), who was himself a priest of Apollo, wrote in his perform Parallel Lives:

‘And there is some reason in supposing that Deity, who is not a boyfriend of horses or birds, but a lover of men, should be willing to consort with men of superlative goodness, and should not dislike or disdain the business of a prudent and holy bloke. But that an immortal god should take carnal pleasure in a mortal body and its beauty, this, surely, is hard to believe.

‘And yet the Aegyptians make a distinction here which is thought plausible, namely, that while a woman can be approached by a divine energy and made pregnant, there is no such thing as carnal intercourse and communion between a man and a divinity. But they lose sight of a fact that intercourse is a reciprocal matter, and that both parties to it access into a enjoy communion. However, that a god should have affection for a man, and a so-called like which is based upon affection, and takes the establish

Last week we discussed the nine types of creation myth. This week, lets take a watch at some endure out gay gods in history.

Keep in consciousness that what we know about these deities came to us through the lense of obeying civilisations, who weren’t always big fans of homosexuality. The result is sometimes we have to read between the lines.

However, next day someone tries to tell you heterosexuality is the way its always been, you can announce them about these ancient deities

Antinous

You may not have heard of Antinous. He was a Greek youth who was the lover of Emperor Hadrian around the 1st century AD. Antinous drowned while on a boat trip on the Nile, and Hadrian deified him post-humously.

Hadrian had his lover arrange among the gods as a develop of Osiris due to the behavior of his death. The city of Antinopolis was founded in his honour at the sight of his death. It continued to be occupied until the 10th century.

Antinous’ worship was popular for centuries. Sadly, many of his temples were destroyed when the Roman Empire Christianized. His worship declined from then on. Today it is kept alive by LGBT pagans and polytheists.

I've read a couple books that contain brief passages about homosexuality and bisexuality in the ancient world. Being part Greek, I have to say that it wasn't limited to said collective of people.

As stated by someone earlier, bisexuality as we know it probably did not exist. There were limited stigma's on the subject, and apparently many of the ancient people had no reason to disaprove of such a connection. In fact, there are very few instances of the ancients disapproving of any sexual operate to a point where it would socially ruin a person.
The ancient Egyptian pharaohs would usually marry their sister, or a close relative. At the similar time it was considered incorrect for a normal, common, person to do. Why? I don't know, but many historians speak the reason lies in the godlike view of the pharaohs. The pharaohs were divine beings, and therefore did not possess the same limitations as the common man.
Being so, one would imagine the ancient mediterranean people regarded gods as completely above sexual reprimand. I.e. they could do anything they wanted, without
