Original Note:
The word "homosexuality" did not appear in English until the late 1800s (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/homosexuality/), but phrases with the same meaning were in the Bible before 1946. For example, the 1611 KJV says "Thou shalt not lie with mankinde, as with womankinde: it is abomination." (Lv 18:22) (https://archive.org/details/1611TheAuthorizedKingJamesBible/page/n205/mode/2up, https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_Leviticus-Chapter-18/#22)
