Homosexuality in Britain (5th/6th century AC): Celts, Saxons, Picts and Scots

[lucre_noin]

I usually write a lot of arthurian stories but this time I'd love to document well myself about homosexuality and arthurian times.
The story is in 5th/6th century and the societies/cultures in the stories are: Celts, Picts, Scots, Saxons and Celts conquered by Romans. And, of course, one of the male characters is in love with another male character.

The site you're referencing looks like somebody's invented fantasy world. Out of curiosity I did some quick searches for "Carde" and "Almaline" and didn't bring up any other relevant sites, and there's an "all original work copyright" at the bottom of the page (not to mention a complete lack of any sources if it was trying to be historical). Another page on the same site mentions a conlang (constructed language). So I would ignore that site.

If you didn't see it, this previous post might have some better links:

Keep in mind that there's a severe lack of written records from the native point of view in that period, so a lot of what they thought/ believed about cultural mores is unknown or highly conjectural.

Also, wasn't it the ancient Celts who were supposedly A-OK with homosexuality and Free Love? And that was almost certainly Roman propaganda, whether it was true or not. By the 5th century Britain's been Roman for 400+ years. So bear that in mind!

Yes, I read in some novels that Celts were ok with homosexuality but still they were novels. I'll keep in mind the Roman propaganda : D I didn't even think about it! Thank you.

Oh my, I didn't notice it was an original work but still I noticed the absence of sources D:

Thank you for the link! And the answer : D

That page is nothing but romantic wishful thinking of someone who knows basically nothing about Celtic culture.
