(1) In the 1700's in England, there were molly houses. Gay men (they were
not called that in those days) could meet others in such places, which were
usually taverns. Of course, the police (who were not organized as such in those
early days) would regularly raid the houses and arrest the men.
(2) In those days, gay men were sometimes hanged, or they were put in
stocks (boards with holes for their arms and legs). Then people would throw
dead cats and dogs at them, thus sometimes killing the men.
(3) I have read this information in books. Of course, the Web also has much info
about this matter.
