Amsterdam Talks Sex #4: Homosexuality
Handan Aydin, DJ Shuh La Sheedah, Luca
How sexy is it to be gay?
615 B.C. Sappho describes her love for women, Roman emperors had many male lovers, Pope Benedict the IX hardly concealed his homosexuality, in the VOC era (1730) there were networks of homosexuals in Amsterdam and The Hague. But texts have also been found on the ships that indicated that it was normal to be homosexual. Lenin removed homosexuality from criminal law in 1922, Jane Adams was a lesbian who played an important role in the suffrage movement and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Studies show that sex with a female partner leads to more sexual pleasure for both women, and not just because they have the same tools.
This evening focuses on the question 'what can be learned from homosexuality in this hetero normative world?'. With DJ Shug La Sheedah and Luca.
