Oh my god!When I see any of these headlines I just know there's some kind of LGBTQUI+ sh1t around the corner.
Pompeii DNA evidence leads to surprising new discovery about victims
“We were able to sample all four individuals from the group of the House of the Golden Bracelet, which was traditionally interpreted as a nuclear family.
"Two adults, which were interpreted as mother and father, and their two young children,” said Harvard University’s Alissa Mittnik, one of the authors of the work, which was published Thursday in the journal Current Biology.
“And this was on the basis that they were just found within the same house, in close proximity to each other. One of the pair, an adult, was holding the small child on their lap and this adult was also wearing this famous, intricate golden bracelet.”
But DNA from the skeletal remains destroyed that theory, she said.
“What we then found is that, in fact, all four of them were genetically male. And, we couldn’t confirm any genetic relationship between them,” she explained.
“These findings challenge traditional gender and familial assumptions,” co-author David Reich, also from Harvard, said in a statement.

I had thought this had all been mulled over for years now, it has long been speculated over so why should anyone be ‘surprised’, unless the author of the article just wants to reassure himself that being gay is ok cos the Romans were at it to.When I see any of these headlines I just know there's some kind of LGBTQUI+ sh1t around the corner.
