    LGBT individuals have been documented throughout history, though societal attitudes have changed over time. Ancient Greek culture accepted pederasty between males. Many indigenous cultures, like some Native American tribes, celebrated two-spirited individuals. However, as Abrahamic religions spread via colonization, same-sex attraction came to be seen as a sin, leading to violent persecution of LGBT people through methods like burning, stoning, and feeding to dogs.
