They did tolerate homosexuality, probably. It was a widely accepted practice in Greece. I don't think it was as common as some make it out to be, though. Also, I suspect the pederasty was also largely an upper-class thing, at least in the other Greek cities.

And historical accounts suggest that Alexander probably was bi-sexual. He fell in love with Roxanne and was married, however. Additionally, he was Macedonian, not Spartan. Although one of his senior generals (who was his father's senior general before him) was Spartan. Parmenion.

We got in the Alexander discussion and no one could come up with anything but conjecture.

I'd be interested in some chapter, verse, etc. from a book of the era that demonstrates Spartan homosexuality.

Here is the thing about pedofiles. 60% of their victims end up because pedofiles themselves, and each pedofile usually molests many children. This means when a society doesn't rid itself of child molestors it spirals out of control. This is probably what happened in ancient greek societies.

Also I believe there are two kind of homosexuals. Those who were molested as a boy, which scrambles their sexual attractions, and those who are just genetically born that way. Either way it seems like its not going to change. So if a large portion of your societies children are getting raped by men, your going to have a very gay and very child molesting society.
