An interesting/depressing example, can be found in the Inquisition records. While little direct evidence exists of same-sex relationships in early modern Europe, records show 500 sodomy trials in Portugal and almost 1000 in Aragon between 1570 and 1630.

A common trope that we hear is that anything LGBT is an export of the West. Under the cover of this lie, LGBT rights are trampled on around the world.
In fact, as we'll see, oftentimes it's been the opposite: the West has been key to exporting homophobia. 🧵
