Random Ways That Gay Men Met Their Boyfriends

Some of my favorite love stories are of gay couples overcoming adversity to find each other, despite the numerous roadblocks that society has constructed.

After all, who didn’t love Schitt’s Creek?

Sometimes they might have to look in unconventional places, but it’s good to know love is out there.

Here are 13 random places gay men found love.

1. Sometimes all it takes is a kiss

There’s a reason the lyric goes, “It’s in his kiss.”

2. It’s nice when you can find someone in high school

Because school is hard enough without one more thing.

3. After graduation, you might consider joining a gym

I personally hate the gym, but it seems like a good place to meet buff guys.

4. If the gym is too intense, you could join a sporting club

If I had known there were skee ball teams, I’d have been a lot sportier.

5. And then of course there are nightclubs

And strip clubs.

Apparently it’s more common than you might think.

The Famous ‘Lovers of Modena’ Skeletons Turned out to Be Men

This is a very interesting story.

The “Lovers of Modena” are a pair of ancient skeletons that were buried holding hands thousands of years ago. Recently, archaeologists discovered that both of the skeletons were actually male, leading them to conclude that they couldn’t possibly be lovers — because homosexuality isn’t a thing, right? Right.

Study author Federico Lugli said that the pair could be “siblings, cousins or soldiers who died together in battle,” the BBC reports.

“There are currently no other examples of this type,” Federico added. “Many tombs have been found in the past with couples holding hands, but in all cases there was a man and a woman. What might have been the bond between the two individuals in the burial in Modena remains a mystery.”

A mystery indeed.

But people on Twitter have some, uh, theories.

You know, just wild guesses.

Because it’s not totally obvious or anything.

Nobody has ever been gay in the history of mankind!

To be fair, these skeletons were buried between the 4th and 6th century AD in northern Italy. Homosexuality was illegal there at that time, and these two received a proper burial.

Still, it’s quite possible that this couple had some loved ones who secretly honored their relationship despite the cultural taboo.

Technically, we’ll never know whether the Lovers of Modena were really lovers or not. Either way, though, they’re basically icons of gay culture now.
