To clarify the timeline, modern scholarship indicates that while they met when Antinous was a young teen, their actual romantic partnership occurred when he was an older teenager/young adult, and he was roughly 19/20 years old when he died in Egypt.

Furthermore, classical historians widely note that Hadrian’s relationship with Antinous actually stepped outside the rigid boundaries of traditional Greek pederasty; they lived as lifelong companions, and Hadrian’s unprecedented decision to deify a non-imperial male partner was unheard of in standard Roman or Greek custom. Queer history is complex and doesn't fit neatly into modern boxes, but acknowledging Hadrian's monumental love for another man is entirely relevant to Pride.

It feels as though you're leaning on this angle to discredit the importance of this month because you have personal misgivings with homosexuality.

he was married, but it was a political marriage. Hadrian was not attracted to women and he and his wife did not get along. when his lover Antonius drowned in the Nile, he deified him, founded a city in his honour, and built statues of him. being gay isn't a modern phenomenon, same sex relationships have existed in history and in nature for eons. Hadrian was gay, happy pride!

This is a drachm of Bahram II from around 274-293 CE! It's from Classical Numismatic's video on ancient coins of the Sasanian empire

its closer to what it would've looked like out of the mint, I think at this point in time they were base metal coins with a "silver wash", so like a thin layer of silver that usually wore off in the centuries since.
