SERGI AND BACCH: THE GAY SOLDIERS WHO WERE MA SATS BY THE CHURCH

Christiany’s history of discrimatn agast the gay muny is wily known, and the irratnal aversn on the part of Christians towards same-sex relatnships and marriage is unfortunate, to say the least. They were origally scribed as erastai, meang lovers, ditg they were engaged an erotic homosexual relatnship. What is clear, however, is that the two sats were fact venerated for centuri startg the 5th century, and their close relatnship has spired many gay Christians, who’ve now taken them as the patron figur of homosexualy Christian non.

Before the 19th-century tegory of sexual orientatn labelled “homosexualy” was vented there wasn’t a way to tegorize those we’d today expect were, or we’d nsir, lbian, gay, transgenr, or queer.

But ’s also voked negative rpons to the reexamg of historil documents whout morn homophobic reactns, rpons that expend a lot of effort tryg to prove that those exampl weren’t really lovers but “iends, brothers, sisters” who exprsed their love more timately than siblgs and iends would today’s apparently more homophobic cultur.

LGBTQ+ History Month — tertgly and to the chagr of many “tradnal” Christianists — has four feast days for regnized “sats” the pre-homophobic worship patterns of Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church who non-homophobic evaluatn suggts we’d ll LGBTQ+ sats today. But first we e upon October 7, the tradnal feast day of Sergi and Bacch, two male sats picted throughout the long history of their veneratn as lovgly mted to each other a pth unqutned until the rise of that morn tegory of “homosexual” and the reactnary need to ny that they were lovers by those worried that the long-venerated duo might qualify.

SERGI & BACCH: PATRON SATS OF GAY MARRIAGE?

Boswell knew he was fightg the tablishment’s entrenched homophobic tradns.

But through all, Sergi and Bacch remaed as ins of an timate same-sex relatnship that homophobia only tried to erase this past quarter century. Only the last s wh morn homophobia has anyone tried to argue that they weren’t as timate as the documents we have say they likely were, though most of the cricism of Boswell’s work is meant to reject his suggtns that there were same-sex unn ceremoni for romantic upl the pre-morn church.

While tolerance is often prented as a sign of civilizatn's advancement, a readg of Greek mythology reveals greater acceptance of homosexualy ancient Athens than n be boasted wh today's world religns. The LGBT Greek gods and migods prove gay culture is no morn ventn. While Homer never explicly stat a gay relatnship between Achill and sikick Patrocl, many scholars read a romantic nnectn between the two, as only Patrocl ever drew out a passnate si to the famoly arrogant warrr.

Sergi & Bacch, October 7th: Patron Sats of Gay Marriage? Sergi and Bacch are by a long way the bt known of the so-lled gay or lbian sats – unls we clu as “sats” the biblil pairs David and Jonathan, and Ruth and Naomi. We need to be reful wh termology though: the word “gay” n be misleadg, as certaly nnot be applied wh the same nnotatns as morn age, and technilly, they are no longer regnised as sats by Wtern church, as creed by the Vatin – but they are still honoured by the Orthodox church, and by many others who choose to ignore the lgs of Vatin burecrats.

Like so many queer Catholics, never occurred to me that there uld even exist gay or lbian Catholics until I heard of SS Sergi and Bacch. That began for me a ntug exploratn of the other LGBT sats, of the rt of gay history the church, of more general gay and lbian theology – and this blog.

By further serendipy, I disvered this week that today, the feast day of Sergi and Bacch, is also the birthday of – Dan Savage, well known for his work to bat homophobic teen bullyg. If Serge and Bacch may be regard as patrons sats of gay adults, is Dan Savage a morn patron sat of gay teens?

A morn in of Sats Sergi and Bacch by the gay, Francisn inographer Robert Lentz (Photo cred: Wikipedia). This alone is worth notg any discsn of homoerotic relatnships and the early Christians: the Roman world, as most of the Mederranean regn, such relatnships were monplace.
