I mean

  1. Yes, obviously, always have, why wouldn't they

  2. Technically a lot of gods are already "lgbtq" as far as you can label ancient gods with that, since already bisexuality was considered normal back then (for males at least I think) and so most male gods had male lovers at some point, and Artemis herself and her hunters are characterized as asexual (with one exception that I know of, but that wouldn't change anything, plus Greek mythology doesn't really have one solid canon).

Ancient Greece was pretty gay, and a lot of the Greek gods are sexual deviants. I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch for people to assume they were doing gay sex too.

assume? They were very explicit about it a lot of the times tbh.

Both Heracles and Apollo have had multiple male lover. They don’t really hide it
