re: #49 ProLifeLiberal

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a Greek City-State that used Gays as a fighting force?

sparta was of course the number one military oriented state of its time, and a very very weird place to boot

if anybody qualified for the title of el mas macho culture of the iron age, it was certainly the spartans

its culture essentially expected men to be gay

older men were expected to take younger men under their wing, and sleep with them, engaging in what might delicately be described as a non-penetrating sex practice

if you want to hear some other rather unusual things, try looking up spartan wooing and marriage practices
