How about 'burning Sappho," in Ancient Greece? But since about roughly the time of Christ, we don't hear of many because it was frowned on, for religious reasons, and because in most places, women didn't have the freedom to express themselves in that way if they wanted to.

Yes. The term Lesbian refers to the Island of Lesbos, near Greece, which was the home of a famous and gay woman poet named Sappho - thus the alternate term Saffic for gay women. This was in the days of the high Ancient Greek civilization.

A very famous lesbian poet who lived on the island of Lesbos in ancient Greece would answer a resounding YES.

There have been gay men AND women throughout history. Cultures and societies have treated "the issue" differently.
