Homosexuality in Ancient Rome?

[Rocky]

Ok here's the story, in year 11 (2003) my friends were doing Ancient History and were learning about Ancient Rome and whatever. They had this project to do which they ended up doing a movie of. Most of it was educational stuff to get marks for the project but a few bits and pieces were hopelessly hilarious.

Now, finally I have obtained a copy of the video and after editting the crappy bits out I bring you wonderous world of Ancient Rome.

Homosexuality is actually quite common in history, but has been frowned on by alot of people as un-natural ( especially, but not limited to, religions )

Though, it's something that also seems to happen in the animal kingdom aswell.
So is it really that unnatural?

I don't believe homosexuality to be immoral, I could'nt (typo ) care less if someone was ***, but just because it was common in ancient rome, athens and sparta doesn't really mean anything. You have to keep in mind that it was also acceptable for a grown man to have sex with a young boy in Sparta.

Certain religions still don't look to close at age these days.
Not much has changed.

Umm...this wasn't a serious discussion thread it was supposed to be a funny video thread, but you all hate it so I'm gonna go and hide away now.

Now that'd be a sight...300 *** Spartans fighting 10,000 straight Persians. I call for a sequel to 300.
