Polygamy has been practiced by various human civilizations for hundreds of years whereas gay marriage has been a recent invention barely one generation old.Wrong! Same sex marriage was common place in the Roman Empire. In fact Nero had his lover castrated and married him.
You’re misinformed OneVike and being indoctrinated by a history designed to normalize what has always been deviant behavior in Roman and Greek history. This is agenda driven history, not the reality in those cultures from Babylonia through Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Imagine stating that pornography and prostitution were “commonplace” in American history. That would be a lie. Did they exist? Yes, e.g. Boston’s prostitutes existed and gave good anti-British intelligence. Were they “commonplace”? Depends on the definition.
If you mean accepted as a societal norm, no. That Bill Clinton had ongoing sexual relations with a variety of women in the White House as President doesn’t indicate that the behavior is a societal norm. It’s just within the last decades that pornography has become widely available and tolerated in America. It won’t end well.
HMMmm...
A fate that seems to overtake a lot of males after marriage...
Ask Nero or Sodom how long these cultures survived.
I also noticed you didn't name any specific Native American tribes for a reason-- because child molestation and homosexuality were so gross that most tribes would disown or kill the practitioners outright.
Sure, it happened. But is was by no means common.
