Homo sapiens are the only animals to fear homosexuality With the rise of the Abrahamic religions, homosexuals became less tolerated eventually becoming vilified and persecuted as sodomites. Beginning in the Late Middle Ages, homosexuality could be punishable by death in many European countries. Many Middle Eastern countries still reserve capital punishment as the maximum penalty for homosexuality. Ironically, pederasty is common in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan even though homosexuality is punishable by Islamic mores. Further irony can be found in the pederasty practices of Jewish and Christian clergy members which resulted in numerous child sexual abuse scandals in countries where homosexuality is legal between consenting adults. No law or religion in any country has prevented someone from becoming a homosexual. For all intents and purposes, homophobia is learned.

Native American Celebration of the Summer Solstice The Miami Nation of Indiana holds an annual summer solstice celebration on a weekend near the solstice to honor the indigenous peoples who trekked to the Great Mound for over four and a half centuries. Beginning in the evening and lasting a little past sunset, a number of activities and ceremonies are performed on the Great Mound’s platform. A brief history tour of the Mounds is followed by Indian folklore tales told from the Lenape tradition by a chubby fur trader who bears a striking resemblance to another folklore legend, St. Nicholas. He tells the Lenape Creation Story, the tale of The Hunter and the Owl and the amusing When Squirrels Were Huge. As the Miami Nation set up their Sacred Medicine Drum, a flute player performs Native American music. A number of Miami songs are performed. As the sun sets, the ceremonies are brought to an end.
