That's horse manure. Just as an example, classical Greek society actually elevated homosexual relationships as being more pure than heterosexual ones, and classical Japanese society saw nothing particularly wrong with men sexing up young boys. |
Someone really should take a look at it, because as far as i know it's only the Judeo-Christian tradition that has a particular grudge against homosexuality, and that largely stems from this strong sense of self-preservation among the ancient Hebrews (and other Semitic tribes), that also caused them to ban a lot of other things
(and it wasn't an issue of: homosexuality is bad because it's not reproductively effecient, but rather homosexuality is bad because that's what the other cultures around us do, and we're not like them, same reason they won't eat shellfish. It also may have had something to do with preserving civil order, as adult men were almost always married, so them having sex with each other was going to lead to family fueds and such)
Point being, what have other societies actually said. We've here described the Semites, Mediterraneans, and Japanese, but what of the Chinese, Indians, Africans, and Native Americans?
