Sergius and Bacchus: the Gay Catholic Saints
Sergius and Bacchus were soldiers in the Roman army. They were secret Christians. But they were open lovers.
Sergius and Bacchus were third century Roman soldiers who are commemorated as martyrs by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. They were severely punished in 303, with Bacchus dying during torture, and Sergius eventually beheaded.
