    On the topic of addressing historical correctitude, it’s also worth noting that the Greek pederasty tradition was controversial even among classical Greeks, and the backlash of it spreading to Roman culture when they strip mined Greece for culture eventually ended it as popular practice in turn.

    By the time Romans were in Judea the tradition was already out of favor even in Greece.

    The real revisionist homophobia is pretending pederasty was the only kind of homosexuality in practice in either Greece or Rome.
