Depends how far back in "culture" you go. Of course cultural and social interactions can be viewed as somewhat different, but looking at our closest ancestors I don't think its unreasonable to extrapolate that homosexuality has played a social role in primates for millions of years. It was only more recently with our "developed" human brain and moral codes that we decided it was unnatural. Thankfully, we've gotten past that fallacious taboo and we can adopt a more natural, grass roots policy towards homosexuality. Or at least take a step in the right direction.
