Even in Greco-Roman times it was understood that those who engaged in such relations would eventually go on into heterosexual relationship and marriages

Just like the Arabs?

I've read many reports from Westerners about homosexual sex being common in Arab countries, but men always end up getting married in order to continue the family name.

I'm uncertain - certainly a number of younger al-Qaeda jihadis have turned out to have been molested by their superiors in the Afghan camps and a number of the Pakistani madrassa chiefs are evidently pedophiles, but I'm wary about judging cultural attitudes on a particular subject on the basis of members of a terrorist organization.

I do know from my own reading that the Qur'an that homosexual relations are condemned there in no uncertain terms as well as that all Muslim countries maintain anti-sodomy laws. The Malaysian deputy prime minister was actually sacked on the trumped-up allegation that he engaged in such practices. But no honest clue as to just how common these things are.

The whole idea that most men who engage in homosexual activity are primarily or exclusively homosexual in "orientation" is a remarkably modern theory. For most of history it was generally accepted that any moral concern about such practices was mostly with whether one was the "penetrator" or the "penetrated." The first did not make one a homosexual or an object of contempt, the second most definitely did.

Don't agree with this, but it is historically quite true. Still applies today in the special subculture in our prisons.
