In ancient Athens men thought the highest Romantic Love was between an older and younger man. The women had to bond together on Lesbos where the poetess Sappho wrote. In Sparta six year old boys left there mothers and moved into the dorms where all males lived except to procreate. The sexes were very far apart there.
These people wrote about their lives, loves and social structure and in Athens and Lesbos.

uh, yes. homosexuality is something you are born with, according to recent studies. how much sense does it make that homosexuality would just "happen" all of a sudden out of nowhere at a certain point in time like just this last century if people are born with it? it's been around as long as heterosexuality. think about that.

um, Greece, Sodom and Gomorrah ? sodom- sodomy ? it was called that b/c men were having sex with other men in public in the streets. God didn't like it. I assume you are referring to this, since your question is in the religion section ? Gays won't like this, but the Bible, if you believe in this ( not accepted or popular these days ), says that there are many homosexuals, and that is a special challenge. It's not a sin to be one, just to practice it. The Old Testament is over 2K yearsold and it discusses homos.

Probably as long as human-beings have existed. In ancient Rome there was a lot of stuff going on. Only time it was secret is when religions or societies prosecuted these people.

They have been around since people started rejecting the weaker people. and used them as slaves and playthings, also a lack of choice at times. most people are bi-sexual by nature. these other things show up depending on their role in society partly. the rest by life experiences that have turned them off of contact with the opposite sex.

Why yes. They have existed for probably millions of years, since homosexuality is something that runs through the animal kingdom.

Yes! The reason is because it is biological, people throughout time have been born straight, gay or lesbian so naturally it has occurred since for ever. Also, don't forget bisexuals!

Human beings have always been human beings,even when we were monkeys, meaning that nature can't be helped. Homosexuals have always been here and always will be here, and so will the rest of us that are not. So get over it and get along, it's a silly thing to be concerned about anyway.
