@@melz6625 There's not much evidence for what was claimed in the video really. But there is significant evidence that, even if matelotage was a form of gay marriage (debatable, but not inconceivable) it was quite rare, and homosexuality was still greatly taboo among the majority of buccaneers, best example to support this being the buccaneer captain Edmund Cooke who was voted to be put under arrest under a (most likely false) accusation of sodomy, strongly implying homosexuality was as frowned upon by buccaneers as it was among the general populace of the time (which is very much so). Source: Bucaniers of America. The second volume. There's also the fact buccaneers were extremely devout protestants, many being religious exiles fleeing persecution during the European wars of religion, and likely would have frowned upon homosexuality due to their fervent religiosity.

I heard that Disney originally before Depp started making them millions of dollars didn't like his portrayal of Capt. Jack Sparrow, and asked him why he was playing the character so gay. Dep replied, "I only play gay pirate rolls" Or something to that extent. They told him to change the character because it seemed too "GAY" for them, and he said, "No" I don't follow much in Hollywood, but I did catch one three minute clip of how he created the character. Not that I have watched the movies though. Honestly, I think his whole idea was the idea that he had been out to sea way too long in the sun and drank way to much rum... That walking on land would be hard, and land legs are an issue for people who have been out to sea for a stint even a crossing of an ocean.

Maybe you'll find some relief in knowing they weren't all necessarily the worst? Blackbeard supposedly never hurt any of his prisoners, and Captain Benjamin Hornigold apparently once hunted a ship just to ask the crew to give him their hats, as his men had lost theirs, and then left them alone. There's quite a few interesting stories lol. They, like, did very many morally wrong things, obviously, but they weren't bloodthirsty villains, and were generally more about stealing from powerful empires to sustain their lives outside of the statu quo than about hurting innocent people

Fun fact: It has actually been quite common historically to use adoption as a form of gay marriage. It was legal, made people your closest relative without blood relation and usually required no significant age difference and only the agreement of both people directly involved if done in adulthood. It could also help in immigration. Of course, adopting children together wasn't possible, but even having children together would be somewhat possible if one partner brought them into the relationship. They would legally be siblings instead of children to the adopted partner, but it was overall a great option for people working with a system that didn't really accommodate or want them.

Somehow, the expression "Be gay, do crime" comes to mind :'D By the way, one account I've heard about Ching Shih's "retirement" from pirate-hood, basically went like this: Ching Shih et al.: "Hey government, you want us to stop, right? Howzabout we retire and promise not to do the pirate thing, if you let us go free with our money and lives?" Government: "Uhhh suuure, come sign a treaty at the city?" Pirates: "Sure. Oh yeah, and we'll come unarmed, to show you we mean well." Government: *sighing in relief* "Oh, sounds great! Totally won't capture you!" And they did come unarmed. Their fleet was docked at the port with 10 000 pirates in waiting. But *Ching Shih* and the other leaders didn't have weapons :'D They signed the treaty and went their way, and the lady herself founded a gambling house and lived rich for the rest of her life. So I don't know how reliable this story is, but it's definitely a badass story, for sure! :D

I think this is my favorite one... Because I actually learned about Cheng Shih during one of my many spirals down into the bowels of the internets!

The novel (and audiobook) "A Pirate's Heart" by Catherine Friend is a wonderful exploration of a lesbian pirate story. It also contains a 'modern' pirate story that is as fun and intriguing as the one that happens on the high seas. 👍

Another interesting fact about John Rackhman aka Calico Jack (due to the calico white jackets he wore) the pirate flag design he made, is the classic jolly rodger we see know and love today.

if you want a more extensive account of Anne Bonnie and Mary Reads wild adventures i would highly recommend the "History is Gay" podcast, the stories about these two are insane

I just got this book it’s called “all out” it’s a collection of short stories about LGBTQ+ characters (there’s even an asexual character!). Some of the stories are based off real people. Anyway this video remind me of this book because one story was about 2 girls who ran away from their weddings to become pirates together!

bro I need to know more about Anne Bonny also Gráinne Mhaol is such a badass that she's mentioned in a bunch of Irish songs through history, mostly bc she rebelled against the British who had nearly taken over Ireland by the time she was living. So for example there's a famous Irish song called Óró Se Do Bheatha Abhaile and there's this whole verse that goes something like "Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile, oglaigh armtha léi mar gharda..." and it's about how she's coming over sea with her warriors. The song was used basically when the Irish were rebelling against/fighting the British and I just think it's so cool that she was considered so badass that she was immortilized in a song in a time of like, rampant sexism. I feel like that's relatively rare in history, right? Like people making an awesome woman into a sort of icon was not as common.

I love the idea of Ching Shih retiring, getting bored, and building up a continent-spanning smuggling operation just for something to pass the time. As one does.
