Good point, maypo. Interestingly, on the question of homosexuality in other societies, many Native American societies recognized and accepted homosexuals in their tribe. They lived together, dressing in either men's or women's clothing, and were used to settle marital disputes, the idea being that they could see both sides of the argument. Whether that's a naive belief or not, the point is, they were fully functioning citizens of their community. They weren't ostracized, mocked, or beaten to death just for being different.
