Argentina may have "temporary" financial problems but it will always have milonga. In my barrio, Mataderos, an informal weekend dancing was called milonga. The entrance for girls was free but there was always more men than girls so it was not unusual to see two men dancing together. We were all machos so there was no fear of being taken for a marica.

We shall always have milonga

So do you miss Agentina Señor J?
Somebody's hinterlands are about to be invaded, alright.
This is Argentine popular dancing, not the Bolshoi of Moscow.
This...is...Spaaaarta!!!
BTW, is it true that in Latin America, like in Greece, Rome and the Muslim countries, only the catcher is considered gay, not the pitcher?
In a general sense, yes. Like in the British Navy.
Burton blamed it on the "sotadic zone," a geographical swathe where the people are swarthy, the women have mustaches and the men a penchant for sodomy.
Someone claimed the Celts were pretty queer, almost sure it was Caesar. He said the women were hot but the guys largely had other ideas. Some caution that this could have been imperialist propaganda.
I never read that. Caesar did not write in that style. He wrote that Celts were indisciplined, inconstant and no match for his legions. The Belgians were the toughtest.
The Belgae were Celts.
It wasn't Caesar, but other writers did say that the Celts had a strong taste for pederasty. Note, though, that wanting hairless youths is not the same as modern definition of "gay." But yes there are at least two sources talking about Celtic sodomy, I forget where exactly but can look it up.

It is the exact modern WORKING definition of "gay."
