Quote:There was nothing to hide,it wasn't a taboo to be gay,it was considered quite normal. It seems your putting me down as an anti-gay person which is quite incorrect.

 

Of course there was nothing to hide.  ...In Rome.  Elsewhere there was.  Some places they took big ol' rocks and threw them at you until you stopped moving if you were homosexual.  They would convert you from homosexual to corpse.  Rome was more open about it, so gay people there felt more free to be gay.  Some were probably experimenting with their sexuality.  Throughout History a lot of people hid the fact that they were gay.  Even today some people hide the fact that they're gay because they fear repercussions.
