> think romans in ovids amores (love poems), he gives advice on how to romance women, but never men. he says that a man who focuses too much on self-grooming is probably a homosexual who lusts after boys, and he is obviously saying this to mock such a man. marcus aurelius opened his meditations by thanking his father for teaching him proper morals, including 'not to lust after boys or men' like degenerates do. cicero says that the gods created man and woman in their divine image, and that homosexuality or cross-dressing was an affront to the divine marriage. tacitus praised the germanic tribes for executing homosexuals by drowning, for killing those mothers who 'restricted the number of young by means of drugs and infanticide' and for punishing adulterers by exile; calling them 'good morals' that enforced justice among the people better than laws did in rome. i have studied rome for about 10 years now, even learning latin in the process, and not a single latin writer i have studied has had any praise for homosexuals, prostitutes, or abortion. only accusing mockery at best, and open disgust at worst
