Are spartans gay

Although the primary example is the Sacred Band of Thebes, a unit said to have been formed of same-sex couples, the Spartan tradition of military heroism has also been explained in light of strong emotional bonds resulting from homosexual relationships. [2].

So, we know that Spartan society was deliberately designed in a way that made it an incubator for homosexual behaviour, and we also know that certain forms of homosexual behaviour were an accepted part of the (early) adult life of prominent Spartiates (as they were among other Greeks).
