Medievalists know that if they claim to have found 'homosexuals' in the Middle Ages they will provoke cries of outrage, and nothing else they say will be heard. So they avoid the term. Thus Allen Frantzen, on the very first page of Before the Closet: Same-Sex Love from Beowulf to Angels in America, declares categorically: “I call this a book about ‘same-sex love’ because the obvious choice, ‘homosexuality,’ is, for periods before the modern era, inaccurate. ‘Homosexuality’ and ‘homosexuals’ were not recognized concepts in the Middle Ages.” Apparently, the same is not true of 'heterosexuality' and 'heterosexuals.' Frantzen does not hesitate, throughout his volume, to oppose 'same-sex relations' to 'heterosexual relations.' The result is a Middle Ages that would make Pat Buchanan jump for joy, one from which all the homosexuals have been banished and only heterosexuals remain. This should give one pause. If homosexuality was not a 'recognized concept' in the Middle Ages, then heterosexuality wasn’t either.

Urgent Eviction Assistance Please Help

So. My ex boyfriend moved back in. He has nowhere to go. I have nowhere to go. My service animal has nowhere to go.

They filed to evict us on the 25th and I’ve been paying it down as best as I’ve been able to with what little money I’ve been able to make with my car being broken down.

I will do anything. I will sell nudes. I will do whatever I can to have us not lose our home. Please help if you can I’m so scared of losing my service animal.

Spending years toiling at wizard school in the notoriously elitist necromancy department, barely scraping by for several years before they begrudgingly give me my necromancer degree, all so that I can go sit on the beach and revive ediacaran fossils on the beach and look at the creatures.
