Are you saying that Genesis 1 was a separate creation story before Gensis 2? Or that Genesis 1 was first? Because the way I see it, two different authors wrote the genesis 1 and genesis 2 stories, respectively. In Genesis 1, God seems more distant creating things from a far off point of view and creates men and women simultaneously AFTER creating plants and animals. Genesis 2, God splits man into two halves, the other half being Eve and then creates the plants and animals. Also, in the hebrew versions of the words for God, one story uses Yahweh, the other uses Elohim. Genesis 1 tries to transition into Gensis 2 but fails to do so because the wording is flipped and different. See here:
There’s another example of evidence that the two stories were redacted- Genesis 1 begins with The first “when God began to create heaven and earth” (Gen 1:1) and then flows into “this is the story of heaven and earth when they were created” (Gen 2:4). The second story begins in the same verse, with a similar clause, “When the Lord God made earth and heaven.” Though both narratives commence with the same word pair (“heaven and earth”) the terms are in opposite order.

So then if Genesis 1 occured many years before Genesis 2, then there are two creation stories and homosexuality could have veen in the creation from the very beginning, but the authors or whoever editted it would have left it out due to it being a taboo at the time. If Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are the same story, with different order, then it has to be one or the other, unless God made plants and animals before A and E and then after A and E, and humans existed before A and E, along with A and E or after A and E. So we can never be sure of what really happened and when gayness was an element introduced by God or Lucifer/fall of man.
