One of the most popular pieces of the homosexual culture of Greek society comes from Homer’s The Iliad with his account of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. The exact date of Homer’s authoring of The Iliad lies…

For every coin, there are two distinct sides. Sadly, UC Davis, like every other college in the US, has had the same problem with Free Speech. On one side, many of the people who attend or work at their campus want to be able to speak their minds freely without being harassed or chastised. For them, being able to say whatever they want is a right that should not be limited by policies and restriction, while, for others, there should be a limit to what people can say.

was named after the comic franchise The Smurfs, a story about a colony of blue characters, all notoriously male with the exception of one female, Smurfette.
