GAY SAINTS!!!

The
holy martyrs Sergius and Bacchus, noble Romans, are among the earliest
authenticated and most celebrated Christian martyrs, originally
commemorated in the Eastern and Western churches. They were male
lovers, but it was for their Christian faith that they were persecuted
by the Romans.
They
were Roman soldiers, officers in the army of Emperor Maximian, and both
were his friends. Sergius is said to have been ‘primicerius gymnasii
trionum’ (commandant of the recruits’ school) at Trieste, and Bacchus a
subaltern officer.
When
they did not enter a temple of Jupiter with the Emperor who was
sacrificing to the god, he ordered them to do so. When they further
refused his order that they sacrifice to pagan gods, they were stripped
of their arms and badges of rank, and then humiliated by being led
through the streets of Arabissus (near Comana in
Cappadocia), dressed in women’s clothing.
Then
they were sent to Resapha in Syria (Augusta Euphratesiae in
Mesopotamia), where they were tortured. Bacchus was scourged with
thongs of raw hide so terribly that his whole body was torn, and he
gave up the ghost while confessing Christ. He
died on Oct. 1, 290. His body was thrown out on to the highway, and it
is said that vultures protected it from the attacks of dogs.
Sergius’s
faith faltered with the death of his lover, but only to return when
Bacchus appeared to him in a vision and said, "I am still with you in
the bond of our union." Sergius kept faith and he was then tortured
further. His feet were fixed in boots spiked with nails and he was made
to walk a long distance. As he remained steadfast in the faith, he was
sentenced to be beheaded. He was decapitated on Oct. 7, 290. Like his
lover, he died a martyr to the new religion.
The
tomb of S. Sergius at Resapha (Siria) around 305 a.d. become a famous
shrine and was honored by great gatherings of Christians because of the
frequent miracles there.
Sergius
and Bacchus became the heavenly protectors of the Byzantine army, with
the two Theodores, Demetrius, Procopius and George. Their "acts" are
preserved in Latin, Greek and Syriac.
Many
churches in many towns bore the name of Sergius (sometimes with
Bacchus), and his cultus was extraordinarily widespread and popular;
the nomads of the desert looked on him as their special patron saint.
Emperor
Justinian I enlarged and fortified Sergiopolis. Sergius was venerated
as patron of Syria. Parts of his relics were transferred to Venice,
where these saints were patrons of the ancient cathedral. In the
seventh century a church was dedicated to them in Rome.
During
the Middle Ages, the relationship of Sergius and Bacchus was considered
an exemplar of compassionate union, and possibly even marriage, based
on agape (brotherly love) and mutual respect.
