WAS OMAN'S LATE SULTAN THE 'ONLY GAY MONARCH' THE WORLD AND WHY DO PEOPLE CARE?

How mon was perasty and homosexualy amongst Ottomans (pecially sultans)?

The Ottomans crimalized homosexualy 1858, which is que early to be hont. So my thkg is that homosexualy was que mon amongst them, albe perhaps beg owned upon. Real Life Sultanas — Homosexualy the Ottoman Empire.

LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR AND INTERSEX WEBS

So I got several asks about homosexualy the Ottoman Empire on Tellonyme. There is one, to which i gave the fullt answer I know: “Do you have sourc which are about Homosexualy the Ottoman Empire?

I mean for example when the Sultans had male slav and sexual terurse wh them and how the Ottoman Empire general treated homosexualy and if was rpected and accepted? Murray - Homosexualy the Ottoman Empire. We have to separate perasty and normal homosexual relatnships.

They followed the iology of ancient Romans: Homosexual behavrs at Rome were acceptable only wh an herently unequal relatnship; male Roman cizens retaed their masculy as long as they took the active, peratg role, and the appropriate male sexual partner was a prostute or slave, who would nearly always be non-Roman. Here is an example for perasty among pashas: Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Paşa was dited a very homoerotic poem by the poet Ahmed Nedim, one of the greatt of the Tulip Era. Siarly, given the total pilatn practiced by Turkish women, Nedim’s arnt exclamatn another poem “om hair to hair, 1 nsir every part of your body kissable” n only be directed at an adult we even know s when a Damat (hband of sultan’s dghter) was gay: There were simply homosexual people also, there are known s when the harem girls beme lovers (maybe they were jt lonely though not lbians) and there are pashas who were well knownly gay like the first hband of Fatma Sultan (Süleyman I’s sister).

As turned out, Fatma’s hband was homosexual and showed more tert to men and boys than to Fatma, so of urse no child was born out of the marriage.

Anyway, homosexualy of the pasha was so normal that Selim I didn’t bet an eye to the pasha’s behavr and while he let Fatma to divorce him (or maybe she only uld divorce when Süleyman asced ’s not clear), the pasha kept his posn and tle. Very possibly Mehmed II was both gay and g perasty pecially knowg his relatnship wh his female nsorts. And were there any other sultans to be gay or perform perasty bi Mehmed II?

In the brothels there were feme gay prostut also they were lled köçek and were not simple prostut but more than that. However, the change also herald the advent of Wtern-fluenced heteronormativy Ottoman society, and of the reprsn evably all all s hard to separate perasty, prostut and normal homosexual.

In general seems like that people did not really re about normal homosexualy was a private thg. “[…]This do not mean that adult homosexual and homoerotic relatnships were unheard-of or even that they were universally nmned. #homosexualy.
