Where the Spartans gay?

Based on what we now know about the prevalence of homosexuality, it's probable that about 30% of Spartan men had at least one homosexual experience. But until the nineteenth century, most Western cultures assumed that there weren't "homosexual people", just homosexual acts. In many ancient Mediterranean cultures, it was expected that an adolescent male would be introduced to sexual relationships by an adult male, and eventually "graduate" to heterosexuality. THIS ABOVE IS VERY SERIOUS MAKING UP OF FACTS,PLEASE AUTHOR TELL US YOUR SOURCES..I would really like to see you graduating up from that abuse. Now this is probably on the most notorious false accusation of the modern time.Used only to promote homosexuality and make a famous examples.It started in modern times by wrongly understanding or translating the word ''lover'',the name for the mentor of the young Spartan which was just that,a personal mentor,and the Greek term has nothing to do with love in our modern English sense. Add the strong evidence that doric Laconians had been influenced by doric Cretans in their legal system and there was the possibilty that Cretan "anti-effemination" laws were adopted also,and those strictly forbided homosexual relations with boys especially. Even Plutarch in life of Lycourgos wrote that the relationship between boy and mentor was chaste. Of couse homosexuals and paedophiles did exist. Yet the practice was frowned upon. The lawmaker Lykourgos charakterized as most horrid if someone desired the body of a child and set that lovers should abstain from this Plutarch also (Laked. επιτηδ. 7,237 c) informs us that whoever tried to abuse someone was striped of his civil rights for life "The (lycourgian) law allowed admiration towards the mental gifts of the youths but any physical desire was an abomination that declared carnal and not spiritual love . Whoever by law was condemned thus was dishonoured (striped of his civil rights) for life ".
