Genesis 19:4-5 --
Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."

The past is murky,
but it seems clear some places
had a lot of gays . . .
No kidding. Attic Greece had its share of homosexuality, too.
I'm not sure what your point is.
Mine was: not all references to manly love in history and in literature implied homosexuality, though the homosexual lobby misinterprets a lot of those references as of a homosexual nature.
Are you saying they are correct and that most men who expressed love for other men were homosexual?
