I can't say who started it. People have been interpreting the Bible to support their agendas for pretty much ever. It's no different than people who use certain passages to support racism, or when Christians used to quote the Bible to support slavery, since many verses show God both condoning and supporting it.
There really was no talk of any anti-homoerotic sentiment though until after Jesus had died, when in the early stages of the Church, the apostles decided to set themselves apart from pagans by distancing themselves from pagans' sexual practices.
That being said, I'd say only one verse thrown out this far has been, in my opinion, misinterpreted. That's only my opinion, because in context it seems to be talking about idolatry, not homosexuality. It's fine if people in this thread disagree with me there, because nobody knows the "right" way to interpret the Bible.
The other few verses though, are either irrelevant to the Christian (but not necessarily Jewish) anti-homosexual argument (like OT laws), or are factually incorrect (i.e. The verse for which I explained the word "homosexual" was the wrong translation). The problems with these verses being used in the argument aren't my opinions, they're facts. Unfortunately, sometimes people like to ignore facts and would prefer to run with a likely purposeful, and agenda-backed mistranslation.
