== Literature ==
* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: Achilles and Patroclus from ''[[The Iliad]]'' were more like [[Blood Knight|Blood Knight Gay]].
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', the final book of the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', we finally get Dumbledore's backstory, detailing how his romance with Grindelwald made him the Badass Mentor he has been throughout the series. Although it's incredibly subtle. Most people (besides [[Yaoi Fangirl|the obvious]]) never even thought about it until we got a [[Word of Gay]].
* In Homer's "The Illiad", Achilles's desire to enter battle with Hector is ignited when Hector accidentally kills Achilles's male lover (thinking him to be Achilles). Note that the ancient Greek culture didn't divide people into heterosexual and homosexual but instead into active/dominant and receiving/submissive. One can assume that Achilles was the active/dominant in the relationship.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[The Mortal Instruments]] has [[Invisible to Gaydar]] Alec Lightwood, demon hunting Shadowhunter and protective older brother, as well as his boyfriend, [[Camp Gay]] (technically bisexual) Magnus Bane, an immortal warlock and one of the most powerful characters in the series. Sister series [[The Infernal Devices]] gives us Magnus's ex-boyfriend Woolsley Scott, eccentric leader of the werewolf pack. Head vampire [[De Quincey]] is also hinted at as being bi.
** Lesbian examples include Aline Penhallow and her girlfriend Helen Blackthorn, both notable Shadowhunters.
