In an Abrahamanic world where eroticism is a s, homo-eroticism is somethg that is beyond the very realms of sng. But there was a Mlim poet, 1200 years ago, who immortalized homo-eroticism his poems whout the fear of beg killed or ostracized. Later as he began explorg the ia of human sexualy, his poems were centered around perasty and homo-eroticism.
A lot of crics say that he wrote about homo-eroticism and the entire ia of perasty emerged so that Mlim clerics uld mar the legacy of Nuwas by llg him a pedophile or a sodomizer. A plete disregard for the l of haraam and halaal Islam, Abu Nuwas centered his poems around the ia of homosexualy and we, both of which are haraam Islam.
