The earliest RECORDED history seems to be from Ancient Greece or the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah (depending on how you interpret the account). In neither case does it seem to be considered something "new" so it undoubtedly predates any recorded history.
Answer:
The earliest occurrences of homosexuality was during Ancient Greece, I believe. It was a time when human sexuality was respected and openly accepted, particularly through the "blessings" of the Greek gods and goddesses. Pederasty (or the social significance of the partnering of a young boy and an old man) was prevalent as well, and was probably one of the most significant traits of Ancient Greece. It was common for a man to have a male lover and a woman for procreation. Homosexuality is most prominent in Greek architecture, such as the statues of nude individuals, particularly of men (as the male form was seen as magnificent).
Homosexuality was not restricted only to the western section of the world however, as it was also dominant in Ancient Japan and China, where male relations were given spiritual value and given the utmost respect. Homo-erotic art and poetry had much value in ancient times.
In the ancient world homosexuality was abundant, but as we all know, the implication of organized religion (particularly the Big Three) shattered such ancient traditions and forced the ideal of homosexuality (and in turn, love for the same sex) to deteriorate through the ages until it slowly started resurfacing in the 21st century.
