Greeks, Romans, yes. They were more like bisexuals, than just homosexuals. They had households too.

1. In Greek culture, it was accepted that a young man, when apprenticed to an older man, would be expected to provide sexual favors for that man.

2. In a polygamist society where birth control was not available to boot, the best women were taken by wealthier men, necessitating an outlet for sexual urges, which often led to homosexual activity. This persists among peoples such as the Pashtun, who face the same issues.
