Two-Spirits

This may be old news for some, but I thought it was cool. Apparently there was some native americans that were gay and would lead the life of the opposite sex in their tribes. I'd say more, but sites can say it better:

People can argue about how accepted it was or amongst which tribes, or the validity of the modern revival, but just that it existed, that it was at least accepted enough to exist in some places, that's interesting enough.
