Yes, I would like to take some sections into close account just in case. Such societies are often held as counterexamples to theories of social contagion, or are somehow supposed to demonstrate that there is a manipulative element inducing anti-gay attitudes.

I do find it better researched. Whether it is discrimination or inherent factors to blame for any downsides is something to look into.

Regarding Christianity and homosexuality, you may have seen the claims that the Bible was indifferent on homosexuality and that such "clobber passages" were misinterpreted. Yet, this seems to fly in the face of its social acceptance over the centuries and the importance of Christianity to many societies.
