Introduction:
Homosexuality
is as modern as today's newspaper and as old as ancient history. Many ancient
Greek leaders, including Socrates and Plato, were apparently homosexuals, as
were many Roman emperors. It has been especially common in certain societies.
What about our own society?
* Some
popular studies claim ten per cent of Americans are homosexual. However, this
figure was inflated. A brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by 31
pro-homosexual activist groups in the case of Lawrence v. Texas states:
"2.8 percent of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves
as gay, lesbian, or bisexual." (Culture Facts, April 4, 2003)
