who do you listen to that the history of homosexuality is even slightly debatable?
The cross-dressing is not easy to identify with sexuality, individual cases might be, but there are numerous examples of straight cross-dressing, particularly for women to fit into a male role.
However that doesn't diminish the existence of non-binary, non-hetero sexual people throughout history. There are plenty of records of non-hetero people.
What is likely to be true is that the per-capita numbers of non-hetero sexual people has increased. Why that is one can only speculate.
