i never tried to say anything about homosexuals aiding in the prosperity of those cultures, i was just showing that 1)it isn't a new establishment among human beings and 2) those civilizations were extremely successful despite having homosexual activities occur. this was my rebuttal to N_A saying that gays were destroying our society.
on another note, i don't think it's fair to say that we're a direct spin-off of the british since we were founded by puritans, who were oppressed by the british, and much of our culture reflects our puritan roots. we've done a pretty swell job of differentiating ourselves from the brits.
and yes, britain has been around since for about 1500 years, and there were and are gays there, and they haven't collapsed it yet.

All the kids black and white, together we are dynamite.
