Where the Romans the only ancient civilization that praised homosexuality? I was just watching a video that talked about how the Romans considered a man more masculine if he had sex with another man. It got me to thinking: was this strictly a Roman thing or did other cultures have a similar way of thinking? 

I'm wondering because I'm curious that if this was just a way of life in Rome, what made it change? It was such an influential, dominating empire I feel like it would have eventually became a  completely normal thing.
