And of course for every society, you gotta make distinctions between genders, because sometimes for example, male on male homosexuality was cool in the proper ranks but lesbianism might be more restricted simply because female behavior in general was more restricted, and sometimes it’d kinda even work the other way around and lesbians could sneak around more easily because people just didn’t even count them as being gay.
