I'm not aware of any homophobic great civilizations that fell into decline after lifting its taboo. In fact, I can think of one prominent counter-example.

It seems to be based on the fact that christian self-loathers always manages to find someone else to loath even more. Let's lock Gohmert in a room with a Spartan hoplite and let him learn just how ineffective a military force of homosexuals could be.
