<<As to whether the taboo against homosexuality was any part of its positioning for favorable recognition by the general population (one way to describe it!) I have no idea.>>

This is an interesting point. We hear all these quotes about homosexuality in the bible but we never hear quotes from Jesus himself. Why is that? Because Jesus never discusses it. Some scholars say the reason for this is it was not an issue with Jesus so he did not address it. I will let you debate whether the immediate followers of Jesus thought it was taboo.
