    False... when the big bang happened (and time therefore started) there was no life. A hydrogen atom doesn't reproduce...there for it couldn't be hetero or homosexual.

    Now if you want to start a few billion years ago when sexual reproduction started...thats anyone's guess.

    Some of the oldest texts from the Middle East and Asia even predating Western writings indicate that this is true. I believe it has been said that Alexander the Great was gay.

    There wasn't much of any kind complex life structures around the time of the Big Bang, which is when time started.

    I would say, however, that homosexuality, like other birth defects, has been around for most of human history.

    NOT since the beginning of time, but since before the flood of noah, true.

    Enoch writes about the sin of being Gay in his book, calling men that forsake the covenant and burden of marriage.

    so if this is true, and i think it is, the propaganda that God makes them gay is a lie.

    because if they existed when the gene pool was strongest it could only mean something else is happening. like LUST and choice.

    There was no sexual activity for most of the history of the Universe, let alone gay sex...

    -Since the early days of humankind? Yes.

    -Since the early days of life? No.

    -Since mammalian species first appeared? That is highly probable as many species present homosexual animals, not only humans.

    Technically false… because biological organisms didn’t exist at the beginning of time.

    But they've been around for as long as humans have been.

    Homosexuality has been around forever. "Gays" are a social construct. Behavior is not an identity in nature. Do we differentiate among other primates when they grab each other's cranks or are they all still just apes and monkeys just the same?

    Well I wouldn't say since the beginning of time, but certainly before the development of fully-fledge hom.o sapiens.

    (Absolutely no pun intended... why... oh why is Yahoo's censor so juvenile?)

    In ancient Rome and Greece, you weren't cool unless you had a little boy toy.

    I doubt homos faired too well in the days of cave men and hunter gatherers but there sure seemed to be a lot of them in Rome.
