In particular, Xōchipilli is nsired a patron of homosexualy due to his affiliatn wh male prostutn. Many of his worshippers were male prostut and gay men who sought the god’s strength and healg for health and relatnship matters. Though Xōchipilli is heavily associated wh male prostutn and homosexualy, he was often paired wh Xochiquetzal, the godss of love, fertily, bety, pregnancy, and childbirth.

Xōchipilli: Aztec God of Love, Flowers, Poetry, Gay Men, Male Prostut, dancg, and fertily. But what brgs here is that acrdg to the soclogist David Greenberg – his book “The nstctn of homosexualy” of 1990 – Xochipilli would have also been the y of homosexuals. Not much is known about homosexualy pre-Hispanic Ameri, but general, we n say that, as now,  was rejected by some societi and accepted by others.

Although Spanish rmants such as Bernal Díaz l Castillo and Hernán Cortés have said that Mexi’s people Tenochtlan practiced homosexualy, they have also e to ntradict some other chroniclers such as Bernardo Sahagún, who says was a very punished suatn. So the value of the ttimoni of one and the other n be qutned regardg the issu, so we n not say if homosexualy was accepted, tolerated or punished pre-Hispanic Mexi. That is to say, Cortés assur that Tenochtlan homosexualy is a mon practice and, what is more, generalized for the populatn.

To add to the nfn, one more ttimony, om the “Historia Ecliasti Indiana”, by Fray Jerónimo Mendieta, tells about the daily life of homosexualy tim before Nezahualpilli, son of Nezahualcóyotl:. If we take to acunt Cortés’ ment on homosexualy, then we mt assume that male prostutn also existed.

That is, was a transvte, sce homosexual as such is translated to Nahuatl as “cuiloni” or “chimouhqui”. Therefore, Greenberg duc, homosexualy was accepted, but through transvtism.
