-sighs- I replied last time it was in the failbar but...again.

The Roman 'acceptance' of it wasn't really what we'd think of acceptance today. Mainly because they viewed sexuality completely differently than we do today. Sex, like a lot of other things [iirc] was split between a 'masculine' role [which was viewed as being dominate, and in charge], and a feminine [which was viewed as being submissive]. Having a same sex relationship, if you were male, was only acceptable if you were the dominate, or "male", partner during sex. Being the receptive partner [or, rather, enjoying that role] was viewed as having a sickness*.

There also isn't a whole lot known about lesbians in ancient Rome, but what *is* known is that there were a lot of rather unflattering rumors ['They're insatiable', 'Their clits are over-sized and look like penises', 'They like penetrating young boys*'].

So no. Homosexuality wasn't acceptable in the sense that you probably mean it, it was just viewed very differently and - if you don't actually look into it - comes off as being far more accepting.

*Note, both of these indicate a whole 'Breaking your gender role' thing.
