Just how Pro and Anti-gay were various pagan cultures?
I assume you mean before it was influenced by other religions with strong anti-homosexuality sentiment. As Paganism constitutes extremely varied groups of people and mindsets, it might have been perfectly okay with groups who saw it as not their business who loved whom and why they did, as long as they otherwise contributed to the good of their group.

Homosexuality wasn't a meme until the 19th century, when people were such avid career memesters they realized they could live their whole lives as a meme.
Back in the day you just fucked boys in the ass, and if you let men fuck you in the ass than you're a woman and unworthy of respect.
Having gay sex was probably considered okay as long as it wasn't excessive but I think in nearly every culture around the globe men were expected to marry and have kids with women, thinking mostly of Greco-Roman culture.
Probably wasn't too different essentially everywhere else.
Gay as an identity is a modern construction. Even the most flaming Greek boyfuckers wouldn't have thought of themselves as being gay

Women were assigned male guardians to keep tabs on their activities until they were either 35 years old or had at least 3 living kids. They were viewed as adults with the minds and manners of children and were treated as such.
As for your statement about gay sex being considered okay, it's worth mentioning that "The Golden Ass" written by Apuleius (the only novel from the 2nd century found in it's entirety) has a scene where the main character performs anal sex on a servant girl, and it was described as "A boy's pleasure." Ergo, people saw anal sex as a special form of sex, and you'd perform it on boys.
