Obviously, we can't review culture by culture here, but let me suggest that you look carefully at the examples given of homosexuality in other cultures. Certainly, homosexual behavior could have occurred in all cultures to varying degrees, but that says nothing about it being normal or natural. In fact, most cultures, including the Greek, up until its final years, classified homosexuality as a crime deserving the severest of penalties. There is evidence that homosexual behavior occurs far less frequently in some cultures than it does in the West. Obviously, differing cultures would evidence differing degrees of secrecy regarding sexual behavior and there have been no widely,accepted surveys of homosexuality in non-Western countries, so hard evidence is almost impossible to come by.
Anecdotal evidence is available however.
I asked two missionaries to Africa about homosexuality on that continent, and both related that they had been told that it was unknown until the Westerners arrived. Anecdotes don't provide certainty, but in the absence of hard numbers, ask people from Asia and Africa this yourself. Copyright Alan P. Medinger. All rights reserved.
