[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Rome does not equal Roman Empire; same with Greeks.

Those conquered territories maintained their own religions and customs. I don't know what their position was on homosexuality, but it's incorrect to assume that it was widely accepted throughout the empires just because it was accepted in Rome and Athens.[/quote]

[b]You know nothing about the Greeks and Romans. [/b] Homosexuality was widely accepted throughout the empires from the Celts, the Gauls, Germanic tribes, Dacians, Egyptians, etc.  There were different 'flavors' to religion and customs but it was widespread and frequently depicted in art.[/quote]

Don't overreach, actually I do: I grew up on the old continent and studied history there. Not surprised that sexual orientation was not included in school books. In any case, do you have any resources that back up your statement that it was depicted in Germanic, Celtic, Gaelic & Dacian art (or others)?

Ooooh, you studied history on the Continent.  How.... continental of you.  I'm not the pp, but over here in good old US of A it's not in the school books, either.  But certainly not because it didn't exist.[/quote]

Looks like you failed reading comprehension in school.
