Default The Greeks

Just a couple links from a quick google search in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
http://www.livius.org/ho-hz/homosexu...sexuality.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philoso...reek_pederasty
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederas...ancient_Greece

Anyway the point is that a common claim is that people are either gay or not . Simple as that.

However it would seem that in ancience Greece (and Rome as well I believe) homosexuality was extremely common, far more so than current rates. And there as the pseudo institution of Pederasty.

So I guess the question is do you think people can be "turned" gay. Such as through homosexual encounters at a younger age or simply by being surrounded by it in the culture?

Do you think that matters?
