Fun fact: in ancient Rome and prior, there was no concept of "gay" and nobody looked down upon any "gay" behavior. It was just a person experiencing another person.

Fun fact; Greeks actually invented ‘gay’, exactly the same as what you have stated!
In ancient times no one cared what gender you were!
Rome had "prison" homophobia - no big deal if you're a "top", but a major shame if you're a " bottom".
They also greatly stigmatised cunnilingus.
Hellenistic Greeks were very tolerant, by contrast. I like that passage in the Anabasis, where (hetero) Xenophon is gently teasing his (gay horndog) friend for the risks he ran for some good looking guy.
Alexander the Great was gay, known fact.
