Last weekend’s Gay Pri remd me of another topic that I’ve been thkg of wrg about for a while now: homosexualy vikg era Iceland. To beg wh ’s important to note that homosexualy as is now did not exist Iceland.

This is not to say that homosexuals themselv did not exist, they fely were around already. Pre-Christian Iceland did not nsir homosexualy a crime as such, but attemptg to avoid marriage bee of was illegal. Consirg there were numero slurs agast homosexuals I thk ’s safe to say the were not somethg anyone would have been open about.

VIKGS CELEBRATE GAY EMPLOYEE’S ENGAGEMENT WH VIO BOARD SHOUT-OUT

Only one type of homosexual activy seems to have been fully acceptable the vikg era north, which was playg the “active” part, pecially as male sexual aggrsn towards opponents that lost a battle. This attu no doubt would have had a huge impact on homosexual relatnships. Níð = perverted, sultg, (passively) homosexual, lawls.

Níðgr = (passively) homosexual.

Can mean anythg om wardly to homosexual. In the meantime, GSN unpacked early northern mythology to reveal the LGBTI elements gods and hero’ tal om the Vikg is bisexual and genr-fluidSome gods, hero and highly rpected prits apparently dulged homosexual trickster god Loki is surely one of the most proment exampl this regard.

YOU CAN PLAY AS A GAY VIKG IN ASSASS'S CREED VALHALLA

Women’s magic or wchcraft, fact, implied that the practner played the woman’s part the sexual was a thg the Vikg AgeMale homosexualy and bisexualy were ntemplated the Vikg Age prr to the pagan age, fact, the mon language clud words to refer to same-sex terurse, maly ed as sex wasn’t unual, but a man uldn’t be wh male partners for all his life. He had to nform to the tradnal role of hband and father, hence marryg a woman and havg there wasn’t anythg shameful wh beg active a gay relatnship, Vikgs nsired the passive partners as ed to rape enemi after wng a battle orr to huiate them. He explaed that havg terurse wh a beloved iend was the worst sort of betrayal or lack of loyalty due to the lk between gay sex and enemy-shamg.

Overall, Vikgs didn’t regard homosexualy as somethg agast nature. She was charge of the hoe om a fancial pot of view and uld even ci to divorce her then Christians me alongIt shouldn’t be surprisg if homosexualy beme explicly prohibed after the Christianizatn, which took place around the 12th Old Icelandic Hoy Book, which dat back to 1200, is a llectn of Old Wt Norse sermons. It clus a sermon which enlists homosexualy among ‘those appallg secret ss perpetrated by men who rpect men no more than women, or vlate quadpeds’ applied to both men and women.
