yup, non only being gay was absolutely against law in ancient greece, they would even strip away the equivalent of human rights you had there if you were caught by it, but the name they called le gays was "kinaidos" which roughly translated as bringer of calamity/disaster. romans had their equivalent too.
You should check out the video Arkana linked in this comment chain. Lots of good info, and the pinned comment has a number of sources in both English and the original Greek.
TL;DR version is the Greeks thought pederasty was morally intolerable, like any functional society does.
