5,000 years ago, a transsexual was laid to rest with respect and dignity.

Archeologists say they've made a unique discovery in the Czech Republic: remains of a human male from the Copper Age, who was buried in a way traditionally only reserved for females who were part of the Corded Ware culture.

(Despite the article's title, I'd say it's pretty clearly a transsexual caveman, not necessarily a gay one, but that's really beside the point.)

This post was deleted for the following reason: It's an interesting discovery, but this is one teeny news blurb. Maybe do this again with some sort of substantial link in the future? -- cortex



 
Transsexual, or gay, or a homemaker, or maybe someone they wanted to humiliate by burying them as a woman instead of as a man...
