A Gay Caveman was Found?


A Gay Caveman? For real? That's what this article claims:
The male body – said to date back to between 2900-2500BC – was discovered buried in a way normally reserved only for women of the Corded Ware culture in the Copper Age. 

The skeleton was found in a Prague suburb in the Czech Republic with its head pointing eastwards and surrounded by domestic jugs, rituals only previously seen in female graves. 
"From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake," said lead archaeologist Kamila Remisova Vesinova. 
"Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transsexual," she added. 
According to Corded Ware culture which began in the late Stone Age and culminated in the Bronze Age, men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with their heads pointing towards the west, and women on their left sides with their heads pointing towards the east. Both sexes would be put into a crouching position.
 I find it hard to believe. What do you think?

I've named him Darren on my blog, and there is evidence that he may also have been The World's FIRST Drag Superstar!
