Yes, many U.S. states banned same-sex sexual activity until 2003. Today, there are still many countries where it is illegal to be gay or lesbian.

Yes, being lesbian was considered illegal in many countries and societies throughout history. Laws criminalizing same-sex relationships and behaviors, including being lesbian, have been enforced in various forms, such as sodomy laws, anti-sodomy statutes, and laws against "unnatural acts." However, attitudes and laws regarding homosexuality have evolved over time, and many countries have decriminalized same-sex relationships.
