the mindset of homosexuality and what they were doing then is totally different than the mindset most people take today on homosexuality. you have to remember these were even times where in many cases women didnt even question their husbands for sleeping with whatever woman they wanted to.

and i didnt mean homosexuality was "new" rather the overly openness and societies attempts to accept people who have different sexual orientations is still relatively new. ya know what i mean?
