I said most cultures in recorded history have been heteronormative. In Ancient Greece, the most commonly cited example, it was a mixed bag and was more often about pederasty and power dynamics than it was about equal homosexual relationships. It wasn’t a one-to-one equivalence of the way we view sexuality today.
As I said, there were times and places where it happened, but you’ll struggle to find more than a handful of examples of accepted homosexuality throughout recorded history.
Do you disagree that homosexuality has been overwhelmingly a taboo in pre-modern times? Or that it was ever accepted in a way that it is in developed societies today?
