The whole idea of classifying people as "heterosexual" and "homosexual" is both relatively new and outdated - a relic of 19th century thought. Its unfortunate that both prejudice and "gay identity" perpetuate it. There has always been a much more flexible view of sexuality, throughout history and in many cultures... this whole phenomenon of forcing labels on people is a byproduct of current-day identity politics, and unfortunately often comes from both sides of the equation.
