claraxbarton:southe-lands:jumpingjacktrash:historical-nonfiction:Catherine de Medici is remembered as the woman who introduced France to the fork. But it was slow to catch on. When Catherine’s son Henry III was crowned, he was regarded as effete and possibly homosexual, and his use of a fork was considered evidence of his less-than-manly preferences.real men use spoonsREAL men spoon together.Okay but Henry III was also viewed as effeminate and homosexual because he was?He openly wore women’s clothing, he had male lovers that he was very open about as well.He was elected to be the King of Poland and. Y all accounts was awesome at it,And when his older brother died he did NOT want to go back to France to be king but he did and well, he died/maybe was murdered/poisoned.Using a fork didn’t make him gay. But he WAS gay and we shouldn’t erase that.Real men use forks.Real gay men use forks. -- source link
