In Think a Second Time, Dennis Prager explains that in the ancient world there was no stigma about homosexual acts (or beastiality for that matter) so long as the male was the penetrator.

Not really true however. Juvenal's writings show that.

I’m not sure he is a good example. Looks like he was pretty messed up:

Juvenal was a Roman writing in the late first and early second centuries AD. Prager was discussing the world of the per-Roman Eastern Mediterranian/Middle East several hundred to thousands of years earlier. So is this article for that matter. Perhaps I should have been more specific.
