Red Greece - Is Greece considered gay?

Is Greece considered gay?

OK, I have heard many people referring to Greece as gay etc. etc. Have you ever heard this? What would be the reason? Is it the history or the island of Myconos that would give such an impression? I am greek and I have to tell you, Greece is non gay friendly at all. OK it is not too bad, but quite bad compared to western Europe. What is funny and ironic is that the greeks consider the UK to be gay, and many of them actually believe that by just being british you are actually bi at the least lol. So, when you hear the word "Greece", do you instantly connect it with homosexuality in your head? Thanks

The Greek island of Mykinos is very gay. I had a three-way on a deserted alcove near the main beach there behind a 600 year-old tree.... But the movie "Grease" is even more gay than Mykinos.... The 'gay island' of Ibiza is much better though. The men are better groomed, more hygeinic and better lovers.
are you sure you're not confusing the Isle of Lesbos?
Mykonos is the “Paradise Greek Island” for gay people. Other islands are for everybody.
All of Greece is gay, it's true -- women, men, children, priests, nuns, cows, honeybees, sheep, goats, taxi drviers, all gay. And the Greeks are right, all the British guys look and act gay -- but this is where it ends. 1/2 of Britain is gay, and the other half has erectile dysfunction due to binge drinking for 20 years. A small percentage of Brits aren't Straight or gay -- they like dressing up like school boys and being paddled. I am not sure what this has to do with your question, but at least the Greeks don't dress up like school boys with sado-masochist ideas . . .
Not at all, in fact when I here "Greece," I think non-gay friendly. Not oppressive, just not accepting like most mediterranean countries. I think Greece gets it reputation as a carry-over from 2,000 or so years ago with their history and their famous gay soldiers made up only of couples who fought to death to protect each other.
Well certainly ancient Greece would have more of a chance of being called that thanks to Sappho and the islands of Lesbos and Mykonos. But today's Greece certainly doesn't seem to be that way.
