And Cyprus, my side, the G/C side, the Republic of Cyprus, continues to this day to be a highly right wing state in which a Cypriot identity is very very slowly in these last few years being formed. Many in my family for example actively hate Turks and T/Cs and ID as Greek.

Bizarre that they would do what they apparently reject (penetration of a man by a man) to him. It shows how people use sexualised acts as a weapon to humiliate. I am shocked and heartbroken for your brother
-
The act of penetrating anything/anyone is seen as inherently masculine.

To me it is not bizarre but it is obviously upsetting. Outside the West masculinity has other, often equally or more toxic, forms.

This rejection BTW of the Western concept of what it means to be gay, by people outside the West, is why they come up with these convoluted phrases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_who_have_sex_with_men …
-
In Cyprus for example, gay men are seen as women by the worst sexists/homophobes.

Anyway, need a little break as this is always a tough topic. Hope it's been at least a little helped towards answering
@aeryn_thrace's original question.

In Greece the far right and right quite often preach homophobia. Yesterday a bishop was in trial about that and was acquitted. He really said that he would like to kill gay people, if that was legal.
