The Spartans were gays, and they were defeated by an even gayer army, the Thebans
Pederasty in Sparta: Spartan culture, known for its focus on military training and discipline, incorporated a system called "agoge" where younger boys were mentored by older men. These relationships, which could involve sexual components, were often seen as a way to instill bravery and loyalty, though some sources suggest it was expected to be chaste in practice. However, according to HistoryExtra, Spartan pederasty was considered part of the educational cycle, with older men mentoring the younger, and the younger providing sexual satisfaction and companionship.
Sacred Band of Thebes: The Theban army did feature an elite fighting force called the Sacred Band, consisting of 150 pairs of male lovers (300 men). The belief was that soldiers would fight more fiercely and courageously to protect their beloved comrades. This unit was instrumental in Thebes' victory over Sparta at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE, a pivotal moment that ended Spartan dominance in Greece. The Sacred Band was known for its exceptional fighting ability and professionalism.
The Roman army was gay as well, not allowed to enter the city, until that fateful day when Julius crossed the Rubicon.
The bible says If you son is gay, give him to the army. What Saul Paul meant by that was that even though they were gay, they could still serve the empire, but they weren't allowed in society. That was 100% roman influence, It didn't come from God.
