Oh, boy how wrong can you be?
There were always a minority of gays and there were always people who cared about masculinity and potency of survival of their tribe/nation/faith.
Everybody has always given some shit about it. Some supported it, some shamed it but everybody gave some shit.
Roman and Greek soldiers engaged in homosexuality very, very frequently. There wasn't any stigma at all, and they were very masculine in the sense they were warriors. Bojangles is right in the sense that it wasn't this big of an issue pre-Abrahamic religion.
Homosexuality occurs in many animals, but I agree with Lemmo that it is sort of a defect as it negates the ability to reproduce. I'm interested in the evolutionary reasons for it.
Trannies though? They annoy me, as do parents obsessed with raises gender-neutral children.
