...'tis is a curious mystery where Gay people hid in plain site during the middle ages, while being able to segregate themselves from society, live together in like minded groups in private, and be able to carry out their lifestyle undetected, yet if discovered were 'forgiven'?
Where if within the general populace, and not a member of their respected group, when discovered, were hanged, or drawn and quartered.
Sure makes a person wonder what inspired Henry VIII to devise and carry out a dissolution plan ?
