Interesting, wish I had time to read it. Even if we look at the culture of Sparta where the claim is that homosexuality was compulsory, we notice that the formation of male identity occured under very disturbing and brutal conditions. Even if we can find admirable men of the day who had grown through such a system it doesn't conclude much. In our recent past most of the men supported slavery. Many of them were good men. their offspring were offered a better view point on the issue of slavery; and in most cases, rejected it on principle and conscience.

The point being that even though it may have been fairly pervasive under some very adverse conditions, that does not recommend the practice in any way.
