You don't think? Maybe try reading some history then think again.

SPARTA By William Percy

At 12 each boy was taken by a 22-year-old “inspirer,” who
trained him for the next eight years. Then,as he “listener” began to sprout facial and body hair, he went on active full-time military duty and was assigned to a barracks where he had to sleep until he was 30, continuing to return to dine with his messmates. At 30 the inspirer married a girl of 18, who on her wedding night lay face down in a dark room in boy's attire with close-cropped hair, and henceforth he slept at home.

I was a Classics Major in college. I particularly studied Sparta and Athens. I don't care who wrote some book, Sparta was not known for homosexuality.

Nothing you wrote has anything to do with homosexuality.
