As Mandy mentioned, in ancient Greece homosexuality was not uncommon and wasn't taboo. It wasn't what we percieve today though; it was concubinage. That is, an older male was like a mentor figure to a apprentice or student, and homosexual acts were commonplace among them, as a sign of trust, fellowship, and kindred love (not romantic love). Imagine if you will Obi Wan Kenobi doing favors for Qui Gon Gin during his Jedi training. It's just a comparison, hope no Star Wars fans get in an uproar!

In ancient Greece and before that, men having other men lovers was a common thing. I'm positive the first one can't be pinpointed-- I'm sure the first occurrences of male lovers were before written documents.

All of life is as old as time. There is nothing new under the sun. So I would say whoever he or she was time has long turned even their bones to dust.
