Yes.. In ancient civilization... Roman & Greek (Graceo-Roman) or Hellenistic period... Look at Pompei, Italy...

Yes homosexuality has existed during ancient times.
Here are examples:
The National Geographic Society found, in1964, a tomb created during the old kingdom in Egypt that belonged to two ancient Egyptian royal manicurists. There was even a picture in relief of these two men depicted in an intimate embrace. See the web page below.
Homosexuality was also accepted in Greece and Rome. I read during my Literature class in college that Older Greek and Roman men Seek younger to share the lessons in life, which includes the lessons of love and sex. During these time it was also believed that women were only used as baby makers.
The most popular gay love story to have ever come out of that era was that of Emperor Hadrian and Antinous. Antinous was the the love of the Empero's life but drown accidentaly in the river Nile. Their Love story is too long to write so check out the webpage below if you are interested.
Enjoy.

It wasn't known as homosexuality. It was considered much more natural and even preferred in some societies. Preferred because it often gave young men a way to make contacts with established business leaders and politicians, a mentorship even. So, it being an "abnormal one" is something that came along in the last 2,000 years with christianity and islam, both pretty hateful religions.

YES. For as long as man has existed it has. It even exists in the animal kingdom as well. All that is required is a sex drive and wanting to mate with something at the very basic level.

the question should read { Did Homosexuality exist in ancient time} and yes, this is a form of sex .that has allways been.happening,in biblical times as well, and probly allways will, I think its got to do with weman and the way they have treated men and those men are tired of the BS that weman cause , and their Head games and tricks, of theivery, lies, and deceit. and also weman not giveing any attention to men.because their to good , so these men are turned off to weman .in general.for sex or anything else.

i read somewhere that homosexuality is called greek love. most ancient greeks had wives only to procreate but the real relationships were with peers or equals of the same sex. Sappho was also said to have had sexual relations with her students.

Yes it did, and has since the beginning of time, this isn't a fad, this is real and should be accepted....I am a non-practicing catholic, I believe in God our lord, and Jesus, I don't think they condemn it, people are the onlys that can't handle it.
