Is there any community (civilised/uncivilised) on earth where homosexuality is seen as marriage material?

Certainly. Many Native American societies accepted homosexual couples as a "socially acceptable family unit", provided the couple did all the work expected of a heterosexual couple. In fact, Native Americans tended to view homosexuality and gender identity as a part of the spiritual identity someone was blessed with, so they usually encouraged people to follow the path they felt best suited to.

If two males or two females fell in love, so be it. If a boy wanted to dress like a girl or live as a woman, that was his prerogative. To the Native American way of thinking, if such people were born then they were obviously meant to exist. So, the rest of the tribe usually didn't bother getting fussed about it, and got on with their lives.

Research the terms "two-spirit" and "berdache".

It's only since the arrival of the Europeans and the enforcement of the Judeo-Christian ideals upon Native American cultures that they began to develop homophobic attitudes.

So in answer to your question, yes. There have indeed been places in the world where homosexuality was considered fit for marriage.

yeah rome, greece, Sodom, Gomorrah before they fell and the USA on it's way down

Seattle is pretty darn close.

No one said the Abrahamic faiths were the first or only one to indoctrinate homophobia. So even if every religion pushed homophobia it doesn't change the fact that most people in America are using the Bible to justify forcing people to abide by their doctrine.

Homosexuality wasn't really recognized as a sexual orientation until recently. Historically - there have always been homosexuals although they typically were not accepted in most societies.

Greece and Rome had some level of acceptance for homosexuality, although I'm not sure if it was recognized as a separate sexual orientation. It was also mixed with pederasty at times (and please don't get confused and think that homosexuality = pedophilia).

I'm under the impression that homosexuals have always existed, but for the most part lived their lives as a heterosexual and kept the rest behind closed doors.

Today, there are several countries that have socially accepted homosexuality, homosexual marriage, and homosexuals as parents. Those societies have not died off or suffered because of it.

Edit:

After seeing some of the above posts - please post links. I'm curious as well.

Yes. And not just modern countries, and classical Rome (same sex marriages were legal until the after Christians took over). Various cultures throughout history have accepted same sex pairbonds. There were even homosexual unions, although seen through a different cultural light, in pre-columbian America. The term Two-Spirit, is used to describe them now.

Yes, I can't remember the name of the tribe, but it was an hour long special on National Geographic. I'll look for the show, and if I find it I'll return & edit my answer for you.

nope. ur gay i assume?

I don't know where they came up with my dad hating homosexuals. Up here in heaven, well, let me show you. *opens door to wedding with two men in pink suits*
