Quote:What if I told you I thought the percentages of people who were openly gay in Ancient Rome is about the same as it is today and that people then simply did not have the moral internal struggle with it as they they viewed being gay as a natural phenomenon.


I know that men were not in any way sullied socially for having relations with another man, but that women were intended to remain virginal until marriage. Slaves were occasionally used as "property" in that period as well.


Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the world has changed dramatically. Most notably with the rapid growth of the two major religions in the world today (Christianity and Islam), which has created a moral taboo against homosexuality. It is not hard for me to imagine Ancient Rome being less morally uptight about homosexuality as these major religions really only started to take off towards the tail end of the Empire.

Your lack of a real answer let's me know everything I need to know.


I'm sure you think anti-gay people are very close minded and stubburn but to me,an objective thinking person with no qualms about either side of the debate ,you are exactly the same kind of ignorant and stubborn.


What make it worse is you are a hypocrite because you denounce close mindedness and people avoiding answers/being stubborn when you practice your own brand which makes it okay.
