The majority of liberal academia claim the Greeks were very accepting and approved of homosexuality. Meanwhile a smaller group seems to be fighting against the notion that homosexuality was so overtly practiced and accepted.
One front of this divide seems to be the character of Patroclus in 'The Illiad' A minor character outside of his relationship with Achilles. But at some point more modern scholars have begun to portray them as lovers. I remember mainstream YouTube reviewers criticizing "Troy" for making them cousins as opposed to lovers. There's nothing in his original myths or the Illiad poem that states he's gay. He was raised with Achilles in Achilles' dad's court. There is reference to them being closer than brothers but that doesn't necessarily mean gay.
Do you see Patroclus and by extension Achilles as gay?
The idea that men can't be friends, that there must be some sexual component involved, is so contrary to reality that there is no doubt it is artificial.
Camaraderie is a real thing. Even non combat male friendship, is a real thing.
Sodomites as always lie, warp and distort in an attempt to normalize themselves, because at heart they know that they are freaks and their behavior is unnatural and wrong.
The loudest voices behind all of the shipping of male friendships, from Achilles and Patroclus to Alexander and Hephaestion to Sam and Frodo to Will and Mike in Stranger Things, are not the male homosexuals but lonely, sex-starved young women. Women have always had a deep-seeded insecurity about male friendships, and have never been comfortable with the idea that straight men would ever prefer spending time with each other over spending time with women. They insist on twisting every close male friendship in fiction and history into a homosexual relationship because that's the only thing that makes it acceptable to them, the only way they can quiet their own insecurities.
The Japanese have a good term for those women, fujos, aka "rotten women".
