Greek and Roman gods may be described as bisexual, but none were exclusively gay.

Apollo fell in love with the beautiful women such as Daphne and also fell in love with the handsome men, such as Hyacinth.

One of Apollo's male lovers was a spartan prince named Hyacinthus who was also loved by the Greek God of the west wind Zephyrus. As the story goes Apollo and Hyacinthus were together throwing a discuss practicing and such when the jealous God of the wind blew the discuss off course and killed the spartan prince instantly. Apollo was said to be so filled with grief that he created a flower from Hyacinthus's blood with his tears staining the petals.

Apollo had another lover named Cyparissus, a descendant of Heracles, whom Apollo gave a tame deer to as a gift. Well Cyparissus killed it by mistake while it was asleep, he was so grief stricken over killing something he loved so much that he asked Apollo to let his tears fall forever, Apollo granted this wish by turning him into a tree that bears his name, the sap from this tree looks like tears as it runs down the trunk.

Last but not least is the God Hermes, messenger of the Gods, Hermes when he was younger stole cattle from Apollo and prevented him from finding them by herding them backwards....Well when Apollo finally caught up with him they became lovers and Hermes even gifted Apollo with a lyre made from the shell of a tortoise
