There have been gay people since before recorded history, but if you are talking about written records, then the first record of a possible same-sex couple in history is commonly regarded as Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, an ancient Egyptian male couple, who lived around 2400 BCE. The pair are portrayed in a nose-kissing position, the most intimate pose in Egyptian art, surrounded by what appear to be their heirs.

There have been gay people since the dawn of humanity, more than one million years ago. No one knows anything about early human sexual orientations.


Nobody knows. It was no doubt long before recorded history.

People have always had sex with the same gender. There have been primarily gay men as long as there have been heterosexual men. In fact, it's even been observed in almost every animal species.

The earliest records would be of the prominent gay figures in Greece as early as 600 BCE.

Until the 19th century, most people in Europe and America assumed that anyone could be "tempted" into same-sex acts. One of the first Europeans to suggest that gay men belonged to a "third sex" was Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, who published his first pamphlet about this in Germany in 1864. This became, and still is, the dominant theory of homosexuality in popular thinking. The truth is, though, that most of us are capable of gay sex, even if we don't choose to engage in it.

Human beings-- most of us, at least -- have always been bisexual. It's part of what enables us to build communities, to hunt great beasts and build shelters. And there have always been some of us who preferred our own sex to the opposite sex.
