According to the world history I studied, love between a man and a man in ancient Greek society was considered the most perfect and beautiful kind of love. Especially love between a man and a beautiful young boy. Of course, it never interfered with marriage, but the women understood and accepted it. After all, women had very freedom at that time. Most of the time they weren't allowed to venture past the gardens of their homes.
I'm not implying that all Greek men of the time were homosexual. I'm saying that it wasn't taboo at all, but completely accepted.
