It was Strange from the Start

Homosexuality has been around since there were humans roaming the earth. The earliest to date was 1528-36. This was when the Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca writes in his diary about finding “effeminate” Indians when exploring an area in the Americas. (Now known as state Florida.) He found the Indians to have another man as his wife “so abominable that they (Indians) openly have another man for a wife” and so effeminate that they “do not understand a thing about men but perform every activity pertaining the women.”

At this time period, more and more people were found as Homosexuals but the term has not been found yet. Thus they used the term “sodomites”. This term gave the meaning of making intercourse of the "@nu$". (Interaction between gay males).

It was as if Homosexuality was to be hated by nature. People thought it to be wild and strange and un-human the first time it was found. Thus the Virginia colony passed the earliest American sodomy law (1610) which was to punish all that practiced sodomy with death. (Usually by hanging), thus not only “gays” were punished, but also the men and woman who were Heterosexual but choose to perform sodomy.
