Haven’t you ever heard of Elagabalus, AKA Heliogabalus Rome’s gayest emperor?
He’s famous for saying of one of them, as the Praetorian Guard was marching away all of his male couriers to be executed in the arena, “Can you not spare me this one man?”. They didn’t. Gotta love Roman pragmatism.

In fact, homosexual acts were accepted among the Romans too. There was a saying about Julius Caesar that went something like this: “To every wife he was a husband, to every husband a wife.”
