Let's get this right.
Firstly it was not Homosexuality that was accepted in Greece, it was that you could have sex with men and bnot be labled as queer. They also had sex with prostitutes and that was acceptable,
But all men were expected to marry, have children and maintain a home.
What happened was they socialised in all male clubs where young boys 14-15 were assigned to an older man as a tutor, this relationship could turn sexual.
As for the army, they thought if you were standing next to your lover in battle you would fight a bit harder and running off to the local village every night to hump the hookers was bad for discipline.
Men being homosexual as we know it was not as common as it is now. Very few men had exclusive relationships with only men.
