Many male historical figures, including Socrates , Lord Byron , Edward II , and Hadrian , [3] have had terms such as gay or bisexual applied to them; some scholars, such as Michel Foucault , have regarded this as risking the anachronistic introduction of a contemporary social construct of sexuality foreign to their times, [4] though others challenge this.

Similarly, in Thailand , kathoey , or "ladyboys," have been a feature of Thai society for many centuries, and Thai kings had male as well as female lovers.
