If anyone here is of an "Indian" ethnicity, or knows enough about it, I'm curious if they can comment about whether homosexual sex is/has always been more accepted in India than in the U.S.
I could be way off and totally wrong, but for some reason I'm under the impression that homosexual sex, even between typically heterosexual people, is somehow more culturally accepted and practiced in India and parts of Asia than in the U.S. So if this is the case, perhaps that would be a clue why a "developing country" would be able to do this shortly after the U.S. did it.
As an aside, it sometimes strikes me as absurd that we would use "developing" to describe India, or China or some other places where culture has been highly developed and flourishing for thousands of years more than in the U.S. Western mechanized technical development and social economic development are only two forms of development and neither are stongly applicable to the question at hand.
