"Islam, of course, never got over it."

Depends on which branch. The Sufi side seem to be happy with images in art, drinking wine, and same-sex relationships.

On the latter someone once pointed out the possible sophistry in the biblical proscription of "man with man". A "man" is elsewhere defined as a male who is able to grow a strong beard.

The Ancient Greeks determined when a boy was now ready to take on adult responsibilities by a panel judging such physical characteristics. More recently one of the warring factions in the Middle East only accepted young recruits if they met that same beard criterion.
