Ok, so this ill-informed take has been bouncing around twitter for a day, so let's put it out of my misery.
@pegobry here is just wrong about the Sacred Band and thus has managed the rare feat of being wrong about something in the ancient world we are fairly certain about. 1/19 https://twitter.com/pegobry/status/1406541301730906112 …

You may have had a better argument if you were focused on, say, pederasty in Sparta or other examples with significant age/power/status differentials. But you opted to opine on an example of a group consisting of entirely consenting high status free adult citizen males.

It can hardly be surprising that historians are going to cry foul when you pick an example that runs against your argument and claim that it speaks for your point and everyone who disagrees is engaged in a 'lie.' It certainly doesn't speak to a strong mastery of the topic.

In any event, I don't find your core argument - that the normalization of modern homosexual relationships has led to the emotionally stunted modern model of straight masculinity - persuasive.

The chronology doesn't seem to work. You see portrayals of that same emotionally stunted masculinity first being presented as anti-social and then lionized in the ubiquitous post-war (WW2) westerns, decades too early to be influenced by the prominence of LGBT folks in the 1970s.
