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? 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.
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. Throughout much s history, the Ottoman Empire was tolerant of homosexual activy; while homosexualy was legally opposed the realy was one of tolerance, a society which ignored sexual ‘transgrsn’. [1] Not only was there tolerance but a wispread belief that homosexualy was natural, and therefore beneath the ncern of those that lived wh the Ottoman Empire.
