Gay apollo
Apollo, the god of sun and music, is considered the patron of same sex love, as he had many male lovers and was often invoked to bless homosexual unions. [3] He is also called "the champion of male love" by Andrew Callimach. [4].
The myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus, a well-known story from ancient Greek mythology, offers more than just a tragic tale of loss. At its core, this myth affirms the acceptance and importance of same-sex love, depicting a bond that crosses the usual lines separating gods and humans.
