And did they spread this hate?

It was in Zoroastrian tradition around the time Persia was conquering Greece. Definitely not a “Christian thing”.

Leviticus’ proscription of homosexuality in the Torah predates Grecco-Persian wars

There is debate though over whether that was referring to homosexuality or age gap violations.

Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination”. It sounds pretty clear to me and at best could be proscribing both male homosexuality and pedersasty in one statement.
Edit: but ofc I do not know what the og scroll says nor would I be equipped to translate it or debate the true meaning of it.
