On the other hand, Aristotle mentions that Celts openly approved of sexual relations between men, and Diodorus writes of how Celtic men had sexual relations with each other in ways that baffled the Greeks because they were not concerned with age or beauty.

Can you provide some evidence/sources for this?

The only translations that I can find that state that it involved sex between adult men also convert pederasty into being sex between adult men.

This book translates to both Aristotle and Diodorus as talking about pederasty.

I've taken both from "War, Women, and Druids: Eyewitness Reports and Early Accounts of the Ancient Celts", by Philip Freeman (2002).

Aristotle from his "Politics", Diodorus in I believe his "Library of History".
