If everyone were homosexual, there would have been no offspring. I suppose it worked two fold. An acknowledgement of need to procreate and acknowledgment that the pleasure of sexual relations are pleasurable but not without consequence, some of which would be far reaching if everyone were homosexual. I have no idea if anyone was actually put to death, but I'm guessing some were left out of the procreative lifestyle if woman were so turned off by the homosexual life that they wouldn't consider having sex with them, which may have played out in some communities. Beyond this, I have no idea. I do know that without ability to produce children humans fade into nothing, becoming among the next ousted species on earth. If this is homophobic, then I'm guilty. I'm with the mothers who produce children. Whether this is accepted coming from a man who honors motherhood and who understands that opposites do attract is beside the point. It's true. I'm not gay, bi, trans, curious or anything beyond what I am. I'm a straight male and it's not my place to judge anyone for their chemistry or attraction. There must be a reason for it, otherwise it would not be. This doesn't change my own position as a straight male.
