What an utterly incorrect assertion. Whatever else one may think of homosexual behavior, it's incontrovertible that it held a rather high status throughout the Classical Greek city states (well documented for Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Elis, Corinth, and well, basically the statement applies in some fashion to all of them). Now, one may very well choose to reject that transhistorical record as having any greater meaning or significance, but its factual basis is beyond serious dispute..

... demonstrating once more the 'propping up' that that practice required in the 'popular' press at the time ...
