I don't know what research they have done, but the notion that homosexuality existed in ancient Egypt is false. There is no verified data that shows men married men and women married women in ancient Egypt. the West should not imposed its social modern norms onto ancient peoples, thoughts?

If you haven't seen research on the topic then how would you know if there was homosexuality in Egypt
or if it occurs naturally to a certain percentage in all human populations.

Same se marriage was legalized in all 50 U.S. states in 2015
Are we to believe there was no lesbianism or homosexuality before that time?
