are there any cultures, religions, or countrys where homosexuality is encouraged or accepted?
I'm doing an anthro/psych/soc report and my thesis is that North America's media's lack of homosexual portrayals causes low self-esteem and suicide amoung its's homosexual youth. my main points are that youth develop these negative feelings because of North American media’s lack of homosexuality portrayals, being alienation in most all social groups, and bullying. Now I'm working on my connections to anthro/psych/soc and I cant think of one for anthropology that doesnt counter my thesis because north america is one of the most accepting of homosexuality so I was thinking it would be easier to to a comparison if i could actually find a social group that doesnt alienate homosexuality. so If you could help me you would save my life or if you could give me another idea for my anthro connection...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE its due tomorrow Ads |

I don't know any specific ones that exist now but throughout history there have been many cultures that embraced homosexuality. Feudal Japan and Ancient Greece are the ones that instantly spring to mind. However Ancient Greece did have some stipulations for how far they accepted it.

there were some afircan tribes that encouraged homosexuality as a right of passage for manhood. can't remember which tribe though, sorry
That being said, in modern times canada is pretty accepting of homosexuality. same-sex marriage has been legal all over the country since 2005, and no one is contesting it. |
