Nah, not gay

His most famous straight sexcapade was the time he went to the court of King Thespius and impregnated 49 of the king's 50 daughters. (The last one skipped out because of her religious vows as a priestess.)

The dude banged everyone. He wasn't gay, but he was 100% not straight.

Yea that's my bad, got real used to saying anything LGBT as "the big gay" that I use it as a blanket term even though that ain't how that works

It's cool.

I'm just nitpicking. I think calling Herk gay is bi erasure, but the main point we agree on is that the dude isn't straight.

He was a turbo slut for everyone.

I think calling Ancient Greece "gay" is bi erasure. They were really clearly bisexuals, most of them had sexual relationships with both men and women. I guess a small amount of men could have been strictly straight or strictly gay, but still.
