>Florence had a widespread homosexual culture, which included age-structured relationships.[67] In 1432 the city established Gli Ufficiali di Notte(The Officers of the Night) to root out the practice of sodomy. From that year until 1502, the number of men charged with sodomy numbered more than 17,000, of whom 3,000 were convicted. This number also included heterosexual sodomy. This also gave rise to a number of proverbs illuminating the views of the common people towards the practice; among them: "If you crave joys, tumble some boys."[68]The reputation of Florence is also reflected in the fact that the Germans adopted the word Florenzer to refer to a "sodomite".

>Florence had such a reputation for being accepting of homosexuality that the French called gay sex the “Florentine Vice,” and in Germany,Florenzerwas slang for a sodomite. Still, same-sex relations weren’t exactly legal; records show that a huge proportion of men in the city were accused of or charged with the crime of sodomy (includingthe eminentLeonardo da Vinci, who was working as an apprentice in Florence when he was accused). Conservative monks railed against this acceptance for more than moral reasons, worrying that the growing trend of homosexual relations between unmarried men would lead to a city-wide population decline. Recent studies have also revealed that politicians of the day attempted to combat the issue by opening up brothels to lure them back into the arms of women. Yet relationships between men remained generally accepted, especially in the city’s artistic circles.

Why dont you return to tradition and go back to what your ancestors were doing? I'm sure they loved cute "tomboys" as much as you do.
