Homosexuality and bisexuality is not a new thing. It used to be completely normal – especially bisexuality. It was actually a norm until some zealot Christian said that homosexuality is a deadly sin (which it’s not)

The ancient Greeks actually had this thing called Pederasty. Greek pederasty, as idealised by the Greeks from Archaic times onward, was a relationship and bond between an adolescent boy and an adult man outside of his immediate family, and was constructed initially as an aristocratic moral and educational institution.[citation needed] As such, it was seen by the Greeks as an essential element in their culture from the time of Homer onwards.

The term derives from the combination of pais (Greek for ‘boy’) with erastēs (Greek for ‘lover’; cf. eros). In a wider sense it referred to erotic love between adolescents and adult men. The Greeks considered it normal for any man to be drawn to the beauty of a boy – just as much if not more than to that of a woman.[2] What they disagreed upon was whether and how to express that desire.

Zeus was bisexual. He kidnapped a Greek boy because he fell in love with him. Socrates, Plato, Aeschines Socraticus, and Xenophon were all bisexual, too.

I don’t believe people make records of peoples sexual preference, so I don’t believe there is a record archive for that THANK GOD!

But the bible has references to homosexuality, if you are really that small minded you can pick a name out of there and tell yourself that that is the first recorded gay person.
