I did not state that, not did you say anything remotely resembling that until now.

I believe my post was a response to Karen as to what if any benefit cultures had derived from a homosexual tolerance. That is sufficiently documented, and beyond sincere or educated argument, I would say.

However, YOUR premise (which you have just advanced) that you disagree with the premise (again, one which you have originated on this thread) that "unless homosexuality is openly accepted by a society, the society can accomplish nothing", is a premise that I have no facts or figures to either support or opppose.

"Nothing" is a rather small quantity. One doubts that any one factor could reduce the acccomplishments of any society to such a level. Even the most hate filled societies in history cannot be said to have accomplished nothing.
