I think his only point was that the issue goes back a long time--he wasn't dissing the Greeks.

If classical Greek literature is any indicator, however, it would seem that ancient Greece had more than it's fair share of acceptance of homosexual behavior.

Of course post-pagan Greece is like anywhere else, though, you must admit they do have some rather unique ideas about men's fashion:

Well NR has a history of attacking Greece..while suporting the Turks. So, I say lay off the Greeks.

About the foustanela...they are great for fighting Turks up in the mountains. Scottish kilts have the same origins. My mom used to make me (and my brothers) wear one at ethnic festivals...and I am a girl!

I think that ceremonial style runs all the way through the balkans and into rural Romania, Hungary and Poland, with variation. I wore a kilt at my daughter’s wedding.
