The other question is: if not religion, where does the hatred from men in group #2 come from? If same-sex sex was socially-acceptable, those men could easily have sex thus no frustration and lashing out. It's culture that prohibits that and most of the anti-same-sex-sex has traditionally come from Christianity in the West.
Hey Andkon. I'd like to take a crack at answering that, if you don't mind.
It's true that the Romans didn't care if a guy liked to f*ck other guys. They'd mock him, though, if he was the one taking it.
Christianity is based on the Golden Rule (Matt. 7:12, Rom. 9:8-10, 1 John 4:21, etc.): Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. If Romans didn't want some other guy putting it up *their* ass, then they shouldn't put it up another guy's either. The Church just forbade men from doing what they'd never in a million years let another man do to them. Pretty straight-forward logic (npi).
