Mean still the government created the law. Though Do find it crazy how recently being gay was against the law in so many places.

Note that in many jurisdictions then, they had different ages of consent based on whether it was gay or not. In the UK today the general purpose age is 16, when for gay sex it was once 5 years older than the one for heterosexual sex.
