Well, the Greeks invented it, after all.

How do they separate the men from the boys in the Greek Army? With a crowbar.

I guess homosexuals are a new thing in Greece.

Insert male object 1 into another male object 2. Works better with and in ‘GREASE’. Something about Trojans comes to mind...

I guess they are. This notion that men are exclusively homosexual is a fairly new western notion.

Men in ancient Greece of course had homosexual relationships, but they were also married and had children.

Greek Orthodox 78%, Muslim 18%, other (includes Maronite and Armenian Apostolic) 4%

All of Cyprus' religions and faith communities are anti-sodomy.

Not that they're all faithful, of course. But I wonder if the beach-vacation-foreign community --- who probably contribute to a very lucrative tourist industry --- comprised most of this number.

I take it this was in free Cyprus, not Turkish occupied Cyprus.

A lot of the turnout weren’t supporters, but rubberneckers and reporters.
