This is actually a fascinating topic. I've only read about it a little, but I can tell you a bit about it!
For starters, it's a common misconception that the Romans simply copied the Greek Gods wholesale. The Roman gods actually existed before the Romans made contact with the Greeks, and what the Romans did was take parts of Greek mythology and weaved it into their own, putting their own spin on some Greek myths. For example, although they identified their god Saturn with a Greek equivalent, Cronus, Saturn was a more caring figure while Cronus was more malevolent.
There's actually a term for this: Interpretatio Romana, which was used by the Roman historian Tactius, which was when the Romans explained foreign pantheons through the lens of their own mythology. Obviously they did this quite heavily with the Greeks as I described, but also with other pantheons they encountered, like the Gallic pantheon.
But Roman religion also had it's own unique points. A good example is how the Romans highly prized their Goddess Bellona, while the Greeks didn't prize their equivalent of Bellone. Janus, the two-faced God, is also a very uniquely Roman creation. And of course, the deification and worship of the Roman Emperors across the empire was a very Roman thing.

I do chuckle at the people who think this. By the the time the Western Roman Empire fell, the Romans were mostly Christianised and generally disapproved of homosexuality.
But interestingly, though, they took a distinctly Roman view of this, for a while: they only persecuted men who received anal sex from other men, not those who gave it. It was only under Emperor Justinian in the 6th century that the Romans began persecuting all homosexuals regardless if they were givers or receivers.
