Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would say so!. It's strongly depicted in a lot of their artwork and seems like it was kind of a way of life!. It was natural for a man and a younger boy to have sexual relations, but at the same time the men would be married to a woman!. It was like they only had sexual relations with a woman to have kids, and with younger boys it was just culture I guess!. At least that's what I remember learning in history class!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would not say "for" homosexuality, but accepting of it, sort of!. It was acceptable from a Roman male to have sexual relations with another male, but only as the dominant one!. Which is why boys were so popular!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Actually yes most were, a good example would be Emperor Hadrian who actually was married to a women but had a male lover who he spent most of his time with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
