Is it true that the America Indians practiced Homosexuality as part of their culture?

Interesting question. There isn't much on this topic but there is a book that goes more in depth into it: The Construction of Homosexuality By David F. Greenberg. Here is one passage on pg 40 that talks about Iroquois specifically,
QUOTE "An excess of effeminacy and lewdness. There are men unashamed to wear women's clothing and to practice all the occupations of women, from which follows corruption that I cannot express. They pretend that its usage comes from their religion. These effeminates never marry and abandon themselves to the most infamous passions."

If this really happened I doubt it would have been a common practice because none of the lore, legends or history mention it being something akin to the native Indians.
