Rome fell because there was not enough homosexuality.

    Based and completely true.

    Note the Five Good Emperors:

    3 gay guys who didn't have kids, and therefore had to adopt a competent heir

    1 romantic widower who refused to remarry (loving your wife in Ancient Rome is gay, It Is Known), and therefore had to adopt a competent heir

    1 straight guy who left the Empire to his biological son, who ruined everything

    Obvious conclusion: Rome would have been better off if Marcus Aurelius just loved men like every other decent Roman citizen
