It's really interesting to look at, because you can see that most ancient societies, especially ones with very strict gender roles, had some system by which homosexual men could be "legitimate" - whether that was a "third gender" category or a social role or a particular job or whatever. They were typically treated horribly and certainly othered, but they were still considered to be part of their society. Gay people have always existed, in every part of the world, throughout time. Especially important to learn and share now that trans activists are trying to paint homosexuality as some kind of "learned behavior" or choice and a form of bigotry rather than a naturally occurring variation in humans.
Oh, and can someone tell the troons for the six-hundred and eighty-third time to stop using examples of women being forced to dress/act as men in order to be respected and treated like human beings in times of antiquity as some kind of "trans" thing? "Male daughters" were forced to act as "sons" and dress like men etc. because women were not respected as human beings and could not inherit or own property in that time and culture, not because they just had a super masculine spirit energy. Fucking hell, y'all.
