The Vikings were gay.

A runologist doing doctoral work at the University of Oslo has deciphered one of the runic codes used by Vikings and discovered a message, sent between two men, that reads “Kiss me.”

Vikings often wrote in “runic” code on wooden sticks for what scholars believe was a variety of purposes, even if many of them remain obscure to this day.

K. Jonas Nordby cracked the “Jötunvillur code,” which is present on over 80 Norse inscriptions and has long baffled scholars. One of his finds was a 700-year-old stick in which two men, Sigurd and Lavrans, carved their names and wrote a brief message that read “Kiss me.”

William Wallace - executed by the the English, whose king was to be the gay son of Edward Longshanks.

Of course, Braveheart may have been just a wee bit embellished from actual history.

When I visited Scotland one of the landmarks was a dungeon where they were proud to have held an American prisoner. It was very exciting to them.
