Homosexuality is almost as old as recorded human history
The men of Sodom, as read in the book of Genesis in the bible, are practitioners of most likely open homosexuality and bisexuality. As seen when they try and force the 2 men (Angels in disguise) into sex. And it said ALL the men of the city were there, save Lot.
Of course, according to the Bible, they were killed with sulfur and fire.
If your looking into an essay into Homosexuality, try looking past the known facts. Yeah alot of Romans were in ways practicing homosexuality, but in fact they were alot more family orientated.
You should be looking at the Greeks. Greek soldiers were extremely open with each other and the only reason was to form bonds of brotherhood and friendship. In fact in Sparta, if a boy or man was seen to have to much affection for their lover, they would be put to death. Nothing more.
Also if your serious about this, you may consider reading up on the person of Sappho of Lesbos. She had alot of insights into it all.
I am only telling you this because you asked for advice and your needed to be slightly corrected on it, I will leave my own objection to homosexuality out of it. So I hope I atleast gave you some insights into your essay.
Oh, and check www.wikipedia.org for any other information. Just type what you need in the search bar.

In the beginning, Ug saw Klug's penis. The two caveman fell in love and had sexual relations on a hillside. Due to their nature, they failed to reproduce, and it wasn't for another 5,000 years that mankind successful sustained itself as homosapiens.
Total crap, but imagine if you got your teacher to believe it.
Here is a little snippet: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Sappho constantly referred to love between females in poems and such, and the greeks predated the romans slightly. Not sure exactly when same-sex-ugly-bumping first came about, but mentioning this is sure to look good.
Depending on how politically correct the teacher is, you might want to decide on how you wanna refer to them.
