      Huh no shit?

      Living on the island of Lesbos around 600 BCE, Sappho was a priestess lyric poet who wrote and sang eloquently on themes of love, passion and longing.

      I always kind of intuited that but I didn’t know it was because Sappho was from there.

        Imagine being so gay that your entire country becomes synonymous with being gay, even thousands of years later. Inspirational.
