Actually, "homosexuality" has only existed for one or two hundred years.interspark said:but i'm pretty sure that homosexuality has only been around for 1,000 years, tops,
There have been behaviours we'd lump in with homosexuality since more or less forever, but it's only recently we've come up with a fairly rigid pigeonhole to stick people in.
Ancient Greece (well, Athens, really, people just falsely assume the rest of the Hellenic world was the same) is cited as a society that accepted homosexuality, but their practices were quite different from what we think of homosexual today.
