00:00:00.000 second piece um is the sexuality thing a religious belief or an organizational value
00:00:09.360 i believe that is a reference to our you can only know if you are heterosexual
00:00:16.800 it is both of those things
00:00:20.580 the lore is
00:00:28.640 I don't know if rich with is the right word
00:00:35.420 there are many instances in the lore
00:00:37.420 and in our ancestral writings
00:00:39.820 about how
00:00:42.200 men should be masculine
00:00:45.320 and women should be feminine 1.00
00:00:47.240 and for a man 1.00
00:00:49.480 to be
00:00:50.400 effeminate
00:00:53.460 in a sexual way was a term
00:00:55.540 called ergi which was
00:00:57.960 very much
00:00:59.800 unacceptable to our ancestors
00:01:01.460 because it was
00:01:03.400 an aberration to the
00:01:05.460 correct way of things
00:01:07.260 it was an aberration to
00:01:08.940 right though and right action
00:01:11.120 and how men are supposed to behave 0.96
00:01:13.400 It was thought so, you know, gross to our ancestors in the Germanic tribal era that homosexuals would be pressed into bogs along with cowards who ran in the face of battle. 0.93
00:01:34.600 because criminality would be punished publicly 0.92
00:01:38.440 so everyone could see the wrongdoing
00:01:40.360 and, as an example, learn not to do it.
00:01:44.140 But criminals execute, or people executed 0.96
00:01:46.860 for battlefield cowardice and homosexuality were so...
00:01:55.360 And I'm trying to think of the way it was translated, 1.00
00:01:57.600 but basically the reminder of their aberrant behavior
00:02:01.580 was so offensive that it was best to be kept out of sight and, you know, sunk into the
00:02:08.340 bog so it was out of public view and out of the sight of the tribe. 0.88
00:02:14.720 So very much the spiritual thing that specifically male homosexuality was so unacceptable that 0.92
00:02:23.920 that was to be, you know, would try to make that as non-existent as possible because it's 0.67
00:02:30.360 such an affront to the core values of masculinity and manhood.
