    The nature argument is used most prominently by conservatives and religious people to say homosexuality is bad (though I know scientifically it exists in animals too).

    The nature argument is used precisely by the people who don’t use the harm principle and instead brute force assert divine mysticism (christians, muslims mostly).

    Can you send the source for that historian thing, I’d be interested.

      I’ve read it from Reddit AskHistorians long ago, and knowing Reddit search capability, it would be hard to find the exact post.

      For what it’s worth, I think the name of the Jewish Roman historian was Josephus. A quick Internet search would mention his name and his views and observations of pederastic culture of ancient Romans and Greeks.
