ok... my mistake; spelling is different in slovenian and english

Try berdache it'll give you out 62700 hits.

and... try this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijra_(India)

Western culture was defined by greek philosophy and roman law, both cultures accepted homosexuality. It wasn't untill the third branch, the judeo-christian religion came into play that homosexuality started to be persecuted.

Besides... you were referring to everyone not accepting homosexual marriage; I'm just proving your statement wrong.

Right, things were so much easier when the Spartans took boy toys along on the march. Great for the liberty of the Spartans, not so great for the boy's liberty perhaps.

You appear to be in error.....

 

 

 NIV Genesis 19:24-29
 24.  Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens.
 25.  Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities--and also the vegetation in the land.
 26.  But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
 27.  Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
 28.  He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
 29.  So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

 

Isaiah 3:9
   The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.



 
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape.....
