That, and homosexuality WAS accepted and supported by many pagan groups- Greece comes to mind most immediately.

Not really a good defense since this is an appeal to tradition fallacy.

I think that was mostly a reply to the claim that no Pagan culture approved of homosexuality.

For what it's worth, even the Norsemen were okay with homosexual sex so long as you were giving it rather than taking it. It wasn't so much a taboo about the sex itself but the implication that you were, well, female. Less of a man for it. That is, less likely to take a "manly" or leadership role in other matters. Learning is fun!

That's how it was for the Greeks, Chinese, and Japanese in the past too.
