This is bit of an overbroad statement, too. At least in classical Greek culture, sexual relations between adult males was often considered inferior. It's true that some male-male relationships were considered superior to male-female merely because males were considered superior to females. But in general, it was the older male-younger male relationship that was approved of, and not always even then.
A
major problem arises in using a modern social constructs like "homosexuality" or "heterosexuality" and applying them to cultures that recognized quite different constructs.
