To me that abstract indicates that acceptance of homosexuality was lower in the empire than in the Republic, and even lower in the late empire. However it still sounds like it had some level of acceptance significantly higher than medieval europe or even a hundred years ago. The comment you’re responding to said “more accepting” not accepting.

Still, the original “being gay is degenerate” statement is something the Romans would have 100% agreed to, so the meme doesn’t make much sense.
