      Alternative explanation - the Turkish army is okay with gays as long as they are dominant.

      Which… strangely makes sense.

        I mean we’re not going to explain bottom shaming to the Turkish military but the bottom does not have to be sub. Dom bottom is absolutely a thing.

      Historically speaking, this isnt wrong… Im not a historian, but I think its recorded that alexander the great and Julius Ceasar were known to bang dudes, but it wasnt considered gay back then because giving dick wasnt gay, only receiving was…

        There is something about Caesar being mocked for being on the receiving end when he went to Asia Minor early in his career. Although that was probably slander, it shows this was viewed as a negative.
