Stone Age Gender Bender: Was 5,000-Year-Old Skeleton Gay?

"We believe this is one of the earliest cases of what could be described as a transvestite or third-gender grave in the Czech Republic," she told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. According to Semradova and lead researcher Kamila Remisova, during that period men were traditionally buried lying on their right side, with the head pointing toward the west.
Clearly, something was amiss.
In addition, the "gay caveman" was buried with household jugs, rather than the weapons, hammers and flint knives typically seen in graves of men.

Archaeologists at their best.
But how did Hatshepsut become queen of Egypt? Never claiming to have ruled with or for her husband Thutmose II, Hatshepsut used her bloodline and fabricated a co-regency with her father Thutmose I to legitimize her accession to the throne. Even before Hatshepsut had taken on the throne name Maatkare there was an inscription left at Aswan by the royal steward Senemut, naming her as “king’s daughter, king’s sister, god’s wife, great royal wife Hatshepsut”. There are also scenes and texts at Deir el-Bahri of her claim that Thutmose I proclaimed her as heir even before his death.

Why point fingers at FOX news? NBC is still asking President Obama if he is a boxer or briefs man. From your remarks about this news outlet, i doubt you want to hear what they would REALLY like to put on the air. Pick your battles. Every story about some dead gay caveman is taking time away from the painful truth of our jacked up economy both domestic and abroad. Take a look at ABC; Diane Sawyer is about as relevent as a Beanie Baby salesman, that doesn't stop her from making bold face untruths. At least FOX isn't knowingly torturing the soul of a long forgotten hetrosexual, buy calling him something else.
I thought I could stay away from political debate on ATS.... guess not.
also, might I add: I do agree with you, there are sooo many more important events in this world that we all should be paying attention to.

Come on scientists, how can you tell a skeleton was gay? Are you SURE that this person was not buried this was as an insult due to something this man had done?
Besides we all know that even a gay caveman would have been buried with FAR more sequins that that.

WTF!!! Yourself.
I can't believe the childish rudeness and disrespect in this thread.
Rituals were very important during this time and as the article says - - - it was not by accident that what may be a man was buried ritually as a woman would be.
It may be for some other reason - - - but the insults because it might indicate homosexuality - - - are unwarranted.

4) There were no doubt homosexual cavemen about. If they were so accepted why is this the first grave of it's type ever found?
1) I am gay myself and would love to think that cavemen enjoyed the same human rights as we did. But I also realise that they were far more likely to have been bashed over the head with a rock.
