Gay very old man
The Oldest Known Gay Man?
April 7, -- Archaeologists in the Czech Republic contain unearthed the grave of what may be the remains of the oldest known homosexual or transgender man.

Gass and his friends—all of whom had lost older life partners—have labeled their abiding sexual attraction “the curse of being attracted to older men.”
