edit
if "matt jeevas" knew his history then he wouldnt be talking the such nonsense.
homosexuality was not encouraged in the Roman army in any way shape or form.
Instead,research by one particular historian suggests that because marriage was forbidden amongst the ranks for a variety of reasons,this meant that some soldiers engaged in sexual activity when and wheer they could get it.This sometimes meant homosexually.
Yes because they are no different than anyone else. You have to stop being a person of hate.
