  • Inanna is awesome, there’s some other lgbtqia aspects to her worship

    From The wiki;

    Individuals who went against the gender binary were heavily involved in the cult of Inanna. During Sumerian times, a set of priests known as gala worked in Inanna’s temples, where they performed elegies and lamentations. Men who became gala sometimes adopted female names, and their songs were composed in the Sumerian eme-sal dialect, which, in literary texts, is normally reserved for the speech of female characters. Some Sumerian proverbs seem to suggest that gala had a reputation for engaging in anal sex with men. During the Akkadian Period, kurgarrū and assinnu were servants of Ishtar who dressed in female clothing and performed war dances in Ishtar’s temples. Several Akkadian proverbs seem to suggest that they may have also had homosexual proclivities. Gwendolyn Leick, an anthropologist known for her writings on Mesopotamia, has compared these individuals to the contemporary Indian hijra. In one Akkadian hymn, Ishtar is described as transforming men into women.

    I couldn’t find anything in your source supporting your claim, did I miss it somehow? It did say they planned to use trump by “pumping him up” but not financially, and not encouraging him to run in the first place. It was a plan to make the less likely to win Republican candidates (there were several on their list) seem more likely to win to split the Republican vote. I also couldn’t find any other article supporting your claim when I googled it but I might need better search terms.

    I understand what you mean about it being a bad plan that backfired horribly. But blaming any single person (other than trump) for his run for presidency and win is disingenuous. She had a bad campaign, and the media spent too much time following his antics, and millions of Americans messed up by voting for a clown.



  • True. And I feel like it would also be hard to tell if it’s actually an orgy. Could have just been a dinner buffet and the food is really, really good. Or maybe he was just watching adult films with the homies.

    I’m guessing it wasn’t actually damning enough tho, according to wiki, “King’s wife Coretta Scott said the tapes comprised only ‘mumbo jumbo’”. And they didn’t end up releasing the tapes. Maybe we’ll see for ourselves in a couple years tho
