"BTW you are correct. Tolerance, in this case, must be taught."

The Greek experience (as well as others) show clearly that it is. Thus, you may be well informed that intolerance is likewise taught. The genetics of Sappho and yourself have not appreciably changed as to instinctive aversions. Neither of you had an "instinctive" aversion to homosexuality. Some cultures do and some cultures DON'T find homosexuality repugnant. Such hatreds are learned not innate.
