    Watched “Our Flags Mean Death” on HBOMax and got curious if it was based on a real person. What the hell, he was real! I am pretty sure I watched this video when it came out and forgot, but had me thinking while watching the Television Show, “Do I already know this?” Thanks for being a RUclips Channel of dense and obscure historical information, but should be more common knowledge. You fills in holes in my dictated and regulated American School’s History Books.

      @@kileyrowe8091 purely political, they do it with everything because they want to act as if it's always been accepted but truth is that even the so called ok to be gay greeks by all sources considered man on man sexual relations to be debauchery, pederasty was common but both greeks and especially romans looked at it with argus eyes, in fact ceasar laughed away and even confirmed many alegations of him sleeping around (for roman elites this was considdered shamefull) but one thing he opposed hard is the accusation that he had engaged passive xxx (receiving) with a former mentor. greeks themselves depicted sexual acts like this on vases but those showed saters, pretty much the creatures known for being debaucherous fiends, meaning these were meant as insult not as much else
      (homosexuallity wasn't a concept prior to the modern age btw, hence why i have not used the term, they didn't classify people on sexuality, in the medieval period they spoke of sodomy but this also included anal xxx or oral xxx or any act of it that was considdered to not serve reproduction, and truth be told none of the above actively persecuted people for it, the romans did once hunt down an xxx cult over reports of doing it with children of both sexes but even so when people were procecuted over sexual acts it was usually in times of crisis that couldn't be explained easily and usually in wartorn or suffering regions
      persecution only started in ernest in the modern age, enlightenment, people who were not "normal" have to "cured" so they invented ways to try to do so, like electroshock therapy, here the term homosexuality emerges, now the sexuality becomes a group identity

      @@Dave-te5bs On the show it's pretty open-ended about his orientation. He definitely loves Stede and slept with Calico Jack, so there's that, but he also has that line about being "massaged to death by mermaids," so I think bi is a fair interpretation, if not set in stone. Stede is definitely meant to be gay, though.
      IRL though? There's literally no way to know, and in any case the number of alleged wives is so comically large that it could loop back around to "I have a girlfriend in Canada" territory.

      Blackbeard at least let Stede basically cruise on his ship to read and lounge in his pajamas like in the show, so I like to think they clicked as friends at some point. They hung out and worked alongside each other for way too long for Blackbeard to always have wanted to betray him, and the show definitely is onto something by suggesting they could have connected on a deeper emotional level considering that Blackbeard might've had a similar background to Stede complete with a skill in marketing his image (just as fearsome instead of gentlemanly) and an aversion to killing.
