In the 1950s, was male on male sex regarded as something horny guys did when they couldn't get dates?

Continuing the discussion from Why was this useage of "queer" offensive?:

@Crane

It is my recollection that in the 1950s male/male sex was just regarded as something horney guys did when they couldn’t get dates. It wasn’t condoned but It did not imply that they were exclusive or different.

Older dopers, is this for real?

ETA: What about you know, McCarthyism?

I’m an old has-been who never was, so I wouldn’t know, but in the 2020’s is male/male sex something horny guys do when they can’t get dates?
