no (assuming you are using the modern connotation of gay and not the pre 1960 usage) - though there are I think some veiled references to it in 18th century presentments (I think it was Bishop Wilson who castigated one leading member of society for unspecified unnatural activities - since these are now indexed you may be able to refind the reference - I didn't follow it up at the time) - such acts were a criminal offence later than in England so you may well find accounts in the papers of those brought to court
