The conception of gender and sexuality is complicated depending on the culture. Not sure how true it is but apparently in ancient Rome, it's not considered gay if you are on top.
That's because sex was perceived specifically through a lens of power dynamics in that culture, which was not the case in several Eastern cultures at the time.
Reminds me of the line, "ain't nothing gay about gettin' your dick sucked," from the second Harold and Kumar movie.
