also thinking about this like gay sephardic poet from like the 13th century who wrote that moses would not have written down the laws against being gay if he had seen how beautiful his lovers face was and im like god the layers the romance the religious emotions..
the poet is rabbi yehuda al-harizi/judah ben solomon harizi! itâs from his book of taáž„kemoni iirc, and the quote is âif Moses had seen the way my friendâs face blushes when heâs drunk, and his beautiful curls and wonderful hands, he would not have written in his Torah: do not lie with a manâ
