Learning about 'alternative' sexualities through time is often a murky business, beset with the prejudices and right-leaning morals of almost every culture in history. And when you're looking as far back as ancient Egypt, the task becomes infinitely harder. This makes the Petrie Museum's latest endeavour all the more impressive, as it falls in line with LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Month, a UK-wide event running throughout February.
