Homosexuality wasn't taboo for the Greeks.Given the weight of your argument, I'm not sure which side to come down on. Maybe if you'd lend me a drachm, I could flip for a winner ...

"Homosexuality wasn't taboo for the Greeks."
That's true. . nor Romans in the Roman Empire. Look what happened to those societies.

Homosexuality wasn't taboo for the Greeks. It was. Even the Greek words for homosexual are pejorative. The legends of Sparta are just that: legends. And who was primarily responsible for spreading them? Hint: a 20th century atheist.
