Mesoamericans and homosexuality

by forever-looks-up

So in the spirit of pride month, I got to wondering how the Maya and Aztecs felt about homosexuality? Was it socially acceptable, do we have any historical reports on how such individuals may have been viewed? From a religious perspective there seem to be conflicting sources that state the Aztec God Xochipilli may have been a patron of male homosexuality. I feel like if that were true, it would speak greatly to how the Aztec society in particular may have regarded LGBT people.
