Where are you coming up with this? The Romans were not accepting of homosexuality as they thought it was Greek. They especially looked down on man boy relationships. At least for the praticians. Perhaps for the plebs it as less frowned upon.

To me that abstract indicates that acceptance of homosexuality was lower in the empire than in the Republic, and even lower in the late empire. However it still sounds like it had some level of acceptance significantly higher than medieval europe or even a hundred years ago. The comment you're responding to said "more accepting" not accepting.

I don't have the patience to get into this argument again, but the abstract is not saying what you think it is.
