Quote:I have seen no evidence to ever show the percentage of gay people in any era rose or declined due to environmental conditions. Are you seeing evidence of a growing number of LGBT people in light of recent advances in their social acceptability? It has been a pretty stagnant number from the data I have seen (of course this data has not been historically tracked with the same accuracy as other statistics.) Just because some societies find it more socially acceptable does not mean there are more of them. As much as I support the LGBT community the only way I will ever engage in a homosexual act would be if it were done to me by force. Somehow, that is not a credible fear for me.

So I'll say it again. Its common knowledge amongst ancient historians that in Ancient Rome there was no social prejudice against males having sexual relations with other males as long as they were free men,many famous leaders and powerful men were known to have sex with men and women as did many of the free people. It was a normal thing to happen. Now I'll ask you did a huge amount of gay men just happen to be born then or did people adapt to the culture/environment they lived in? The answer is obvious to me and most people.


What do you think? That a huge spike of gay births randomly happened in Rome around those times or that peoples developed their sexuality and sexual practices based on their culture and environment.


You don't need to write an essay just answer which one you think is true.
