You can also extend the 'fathers' element to the threat of homosexuality to your children. While incidents of adult male to adult male gay shit has happened historically, culturally almost every example that leaps to mind is one where they are predatorial towards younger teenage men - Greeks, Japanese, Turks + Muslims writ large, Romans, ect. Against Timarchus is literally prohibitions against that kind of predating on young men in the first half (The bit about laws against prostituting your own child or being with a child as a teacher before sunrise).

>There was no notion of being an exclusive homosexual in western antiquity

Plato Symposium 191e - 192b
>Men who are sections of the male pursue the masculine, and so long as their boyhood lasts they show themselves to be slices of the male by making friends with men and delighting to lie with them and to be clasped in men's embraces; these are the finest boys and striplings, for they have the most manly nature. Some say they are shameless creatures, but falsely: for their behavior is due not to shamelessness but to daring, manliness, and virility, since they are quick to welcome their like. Sure evidence of this is the fact that on reaching maturity these alone prove in a public career to be men. So when they come to man's estate they are boy-lovers, and have no natural interest in wiving and getting children, but only do these things under stress of custom; they are quite contented to live together unwedded all their days.

In other words like our boomers who found their same sex attractive but felt societal pressure to have to marry and squash their homosexuality.
