Well I thought it was an OK question...historically, where a culture has embraced homosexuality (or at least allowed for the exploitation of boys), women have been marginalized. Sparta as you mentioned, as well as ancient Greece, Nazi Germany (Google “The Pink Swastika”), and Islam fit the pattern.
Thanks for the reply. You reminded me of a few of the depraved countries that did it. Although I admire Sparta for their bravery. But it is a sick custom and I do not understand how it helped their nation. I will look up the pink swastika
Wow, I am very inquisitive and like to get knowledge from the people of this board, but some get offended a little too easily.
I NEVER said I approved of that sick village in south America. But I saw on PBS many years ago. Some American fruit went to live with them. Yeah, its insane but it happened. Mentioning that story does not make me liberal. I am dyed in the wool conservative.
The biggest problem I have with gay marriage is it mocks male female marriage and the reason for getting married, you are so in love you want to have a child naturally
Two, I cant imagine kids growing up normal. I could be wrong on both accounts. I am not good at formulating and articulating an argument :)
