–

2,500 years ago, two gay guys and an extremely toxic third inadvertently gave birth to Greek democracy.

Yes, my proud brethren, long before anyone threw the first brick, we stabbed the first tyrant.

In typical straight fashion, over the course of two millennia, the straight world forgot about our sacrifice.

But that stops NOW.

Harmodius & Aristogeiton are little known to us modern queers, but in antiquity they were notorious. The Ladies Liberty of the ancient world.

But were they actually gay lovers? Did their boy-on-boy love usher in the world's first radical democracy? Can one top and one bottom really change the world?

The answers await in the warm, milky hot tub that is queer history – so come on in, the water is...human temperature.
