Thanks for posting that article, Bard. Interesting reading. Can't say I agree with all the theories and conclusions, but it certainly clued me in on some "hidden history."

Just some of the instances where homosexuality/bisexuality was deemed "permissable" makes it sound like even those groups and cultures had a problem with homosexual members and just were trying to make a place for them in society. Of course, that's better than ejecting from society all together, I suppose.

And while the European establishment and western religions have contributed to the homophobia of moden times, I don't think all the blame can be laid at their doorstep.
