I'm just gonna throw in the bit of historical trivia that the ancient (pre-Republic) Roman calendar *didn't have months* for January and February -- that whole time of year was just called "winter" ("hiems") and not worth keeping track of until the Kalends of Marchhttps://twitter.com/Hal_Duncan/status/1315751438673379336 …

There was a whole thing on Twitter last year where some Christian lady tried to argue Valentine's Day was specifically for het couples because St. Valentine was a Christian who married straight couples when pagan Rome banned it She got dunked on A LOT

All of the stories about Valentine being associated with romance are very very recently written, from like the 19th century, greeting-card bullshit The idea that the girl whose blindness he healed in the original legend he was secretly in love with, etc
