>Homophobia, like "Race purity", is a concept embraced by Folkish groups that is not part of Ásatrú, or Norse history, culture, and traditions. It is merely an idea based on Christian morality standards, and/or neo-nazism.
Ignoring the fact that fags were drowned in bogs
>As a matter of fact, there was no term in Old Norse for sexual orientation. While a lack of manliness or the display of otherwise feminine features in a man (as shown in many insult terms such as mare, argr, or sansorðinn) was definitely a major issue in Viking culture, it was unrelated to sexual orientation.
Probably because there was no concept of sexual orientation at the time; that's a concept that can be entertained in times of luxury and hedonism. At the time it was most likely normal person who furthers the tribe and freak who takes dicks in the ass and serves no purpose and deserves to die.
>several of the hirðmenn would take turn having sex with the slave(s) so their semen, a vehicle for their strength, would be carried in the afterlife for the benefit of their jarl. Of course, the slaves were both males and females, and the same ritual would be performed on all slaves, with no regard for their gender.
This is supposed to carry with it the assumption that slaves were considered equals. No doubt dicking a slave was different than dicking your friend or fellow citizen because the two are of completely separate strata. Hierarchies did exist.
>In more general terms, the sexual liberalism of Norse people was also frequently demonstrated in more recent times. While the State of Texas was still criminalizing homosexuality, Nordic countries had long legalized same-sex marriage, and were actually the first countries in the world to do so.
Implying that the actions of governments are relevant to the beliefs of a religion
>At the end of the day, we should also all remember that Loki turned himself into a mare in order to be impregnated by a stallion, to eventually give birth to Sleipnir! While Loki certainly isn't the Norse god with the most virtues, the fact that Óðinn took Sleipnir as his beloved horse, clearly shows that Loki's behavior certainly wasn't an issue for the gods…
That's quite the assumption. It also ignores the logistics. When Loki became a mare, did he qualify as a female at the time? Furthermore, taking a horse as your "beloved" [citation needed] mount is different than openly accepting homosexuality (particularly considering that technically, Loki was neither human or male at the time, and was not having sex with another man).
>even if Vikings indeed had a problem with homosexuality (which clearly was not the case), people need to evolve with their times. In our modern society, we no longer rape the enemies we defeat, we no longer raid other countries for their wives and wealth, and we no longer enslave our neighbors. Similarly, we no longer stigmatize homosexuality.
This is a fallacious argument. Just because some aspect of society is different than in the past doesn't mean it is necessarily right or proper.
Absolute degeneracy. My eyes cannot unsee the faggotry that is on that page.
