Yeah I learned about one tribe where homosexuality was very out in the open. I forget the name of the tribe (learned about it in a Native American Art and Lit class I took as an undergrad like 6 years ago). One homosexual man took on the role of woman, taking part in division of labor that the women did, cooking and tending to crops. Gender wise, he was a woman, and treated as such. His partner was more masculine, doing hunting and fighting and such with the men. Basically, they fit into the typical male-female relationship pattern just like the rest tribe.

I thought that was pretty interesting. I wish I remember the name of that tribe. It illustrates the distinction between gender and sex (gender actually being a social construction, sex being an objective biological one).

I hope by the time I have children that there is a vaccination for homosexuality. It would crush me to have to tell my 17 yr old son that he has been disowned and to go live with some distant relative if he turns out to be an ass pirate, but I'd do it without even blinking (not that it would crush me to expel the dirty [censored], but just the knowledge that my seed carried [censored] genes)

Just a thought, but maybe you should google your questions before you ask. Took me 10 seconds to find out there were.

do a find for homosexual on this page

This wasn't as much to get a concrete answer as to see what the responses were and who gave them. Half the fun is seeing what people have been exposed to things that others haven't before and not just searching on google and scrolling through pages of information. Not too mention the obligatory homophobia that was bound to show up in classic OOT style.

there were gay indians, but none of them were openly gay since there were no closets to come out of.
