I don't have a substantive answer for you, but historical views on homosexuality are a pretty well-trod topic in the FAQ

Specific threads that might be of interest:

• What was it like being gay in ancient Rome?

• AMA by a specialist in Roman sexuality

• How did homosexuality go from something that was accepted in (Greco-Roman world) to abhorrent (under the Abrahamic religions)?

• And of course a key question, When did the Western societies start to perceive homosexuality as a characteristic, not as an act?

A bit tangential to your question, but this is my favorite post on the question of Roman sexuality. Hopefully it helps provide you an answer or starting point. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/u66i8/i_have_a_possibly_prurient_and_somewhat_unusual/c4sqekz
