are there any cultures, religions, or countrys where homosexuality is encouraged or accepted?/anthroConnection?

It's not something that needs to be encouraged, just like heterosexuality doesn't need to be encouraged. It just exists, always has and always will. So the question should actually be: are there any countries that accept this without making a big deal about it, aka "live and let live"? The answer is yes, as this mindset can be found in Scandinavia, as well as most of western Europe. This stems from secularism and humanism, concepts deeply entrenched within the culture of many countries in that part of the world. So overall, I'd say study Scandinavia.
