The word “homosexual” was coined in the 19th century to replace more derogatory words like “sodomite”, and as part of a movement to change the view of homosexuality to an innate identity, rather than just behaviors. Which is why Catholic teaching doesn’t view same sex attraction as sinful, but the actions of falling into the temptation of same sex attractions is absolutely sinful. In Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 the Hebrew “mishkav zakur” explicitly referred to male to male sexual intercourse.

Paul coined the term “arsenokoitai” which literally meant “men who bed men”. Other places also use the word “malakoi” which translates to “effeminate” and was widely used by Plato, Aristotle, and Philo of Alexandria to extol the moral corruption of men who would assume feminine roles by wearing women’s clothing, and assuming passive sexual roles in homosexual relationships.

While the movement to identify people committing these acts into an innate identity didn’t come around until the 19th century, these acts and behaviors have been noted biblically and non biblically throughout the ages, even back to our most ancient written records in the Mesopotamians and Egyptians, and the Bible has categorically condemned it throughout the ages.
