Homosexuality has been around forever! Go back in Greek literature and you'll find a ton of examples of homosexual relationships. And yes, they were accepted back then. Homosexuality has also been documented in just about every other ancient culture in just about the same way. It only became a sin when christians decided it would be a sin. In other words, that's not god saying it's a sin, that's christians saying it's a sin.

And before you start quoting scriptures, please realize that the bible is not a reputable source for historical facts. It is a collection of STORIES. Nothing more, nothing less.
