Why have societies become more homophobic over time?

I was looking around the "homosexuality and religion" page on wikipedia and it struck me that all these traditional pagan faiths had no problem with homosexuality at all. It was only very recently when most of them started adopting homophobic views.

Often this happens when abrahamic religions are introduced, but not always. What's a more satisfactory explanation for this trend?

    I'm no fan of gays but suppression of knowledge seems to coincide with homophobia. The Greeks, Romans, Persians and Egyptians had no real issue with homosexual activity as long as the traditional masculine archetype wasn't compromised. Being exclusively gay and making a subculture out of it is a modern thing, in past times you could indulge in those acts as long as you still had a wife and children, provided and protected them, fought in wars and displayed bravery in civilian fistfights, and didn't permantly disable a young boy by sodomising him

      This is all it is, really. And is still the case in places like East Asia. It's not some big respected thing with pride parades and equally it's not actively hated with fire and brimstone.

        Ive bee having semi-regular sex since I was 14 and I let a twink suck me off like a year ago. I'm not gay but I would definitely do it again after a few drinks now, other than the social stigma of being labelled "gay" I really don't see this issue with something like that

    Saying all Pagan societies tolerated homosexuality is wrong. Some individual Greek city states MIGHT have tolerated homosexuals fricking little boys (pederasty) But Germanic Pagan societies drowned homosexuals in bogs, and we know the accusing someone of being a homosexual in Viking age Scandinavia was considered a serious offense that warranted reprisal.

      Irish Celts also drowned gays in bogs but only for sodomy. Not for getting a drunken handjob from a qt

            It never says why they were drowned. It seems to be ritual sacrifice of war prisoners

            Here is another source which tells that capital punishment never existed in irish brehon law

        It depends on the city, but a great overwhelming majority did punish it heavily by removing your rights as a citizen, with some even shoving a radish up your butthole. Overall it depends on the local laws for their punishment, but a majority considered it disgusting.

        In states like Sparta, yeah, but judging by the existence of the Sacred Band at-least Thebes seemed to tolerate homos.

          Spart had pederasty literally built into their society, between apprentice and master in the agoge.

            From my understanding, it was more like mentorship in Sparta, like the relationship between a knight and a squire, than true pederasty. Xenophon of Athens wrote that it it was all platonic.

          Plato mentions that it was considered abhorrent and an abuse of their position to penetrate their beloved. They would frick the insides of their thighs and the sub would give oral, only that was considered acceptable

    Wikipedia isn't a good source on this, it still claims that pederasty was accepted. If they tell a lie once, they're probably willing to do so again.

    There’s far less slavery in the world and most homosexual sex in history was between a master and his non-consenting slaves.

            Fair point but it seems like semantics, isn't sacrificing a defeated King a punishment?

            No because in that case you sentence someone usually member of your own community for crime he commmitted and that community consider it particularly detestable. Drowning rival king is simply killing a rival he did not breach any part of community law
