I personally don't care

Most arguments are religious based. The only one that I can think of is that many people fear things they can't understand, and since the vast majority of humans are straight.....ya. Also homosexuality hasn't been widely documented, let alone supported until the last 60 years or so. It'll take time to break the mindset humans have had since our dawn as a civilized race.

Historically homosexuality was pretty much accepted and well-documented in quite a few western cultures... like ancient Rome or Greece.

Then I guess it died down when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman empire.

Yeah, sort of. Generally the Romans were already shifting towards a negative view of homosexuality coming out of the classical era, though it was the christianity that really took it to an extreme.
