That''s interesting. I need to read more about the history of Islam. Although I know about their Golden Age during the time when Europe was deep in the Dark Ages and that they saved much of what we have of the Classics now, developed algebra, advanced surgery, optics etc, I wasn't aware of how much eroticism, much less "homo." was tolerated or even celebrated prior to what I think is now their own Dark Age.
Still, though, the Qur'an and the Ahadith (which may even be worse) do not really have texts that would be comforting to gays and accepting of homosexuality, to say the least. Which only makes the cherry picking of "sacred texts" to suit certain agenda and prevailing norms/mores the ultimately proof of the incoherence and invalidity of these religions.
