What do you think was among the historical duties of "cabin boy" in the old sail navies? Also see prostitution in colonial America. Was it celebrated? No. Did most large cities make a large effort to stamp it out? Doesn't look like it.
LOL, homosexuals in the military, gay marriage, polygamy, abortion, prostitution were not legal in the early United States.
Shouldn’t you be worshipping Satan or Obama, or the Kennedys somewhere?
