Smile For the scholars and historians here

Fascinating.

Definitely academic, this lecture is a bit lengthy, but fascinating.
In essence, a history of homosexuality in various societies throughout history. At one point, the lecturer calls anti-homosexual persecution in the western christian society an 'anomaly' in world history.

Discusses myth, Judeo Christian religion, problems of Old Testament translation, and more.

Halfway through, audience members ask questions, which brings out some interesting discussion and speculation.
