I respect your opinion - apparently borne, like everyone's - from your own experiences, but the assertion that nations that accept homosexuality have all been destroyed in a time long past borders on the absurd.

Specious is my middle name.

However,

Ancient Greece: Superpower.
Current Greece: postage stamp practically unrelated to its former self.

Similarly, we say the "Roman Empire" has fallen, but there's still a Rome and an Italy.
