It is very directly addressed in the Old Testament Law of Moses, so was certainly a significant issue even by that time (somewhere around 1000-500 bc). Plenty of prominent homosexuals or probably homosexuals (or bisexuals), such as Richard 1 & Edward II of England, or even arguably David & Jonathan in ancient Israel, and certainly many classical period Greeks (real & mythological, eg Achilles) who considered loving a man to be superior to loving a woman. As a guess, I'd say its history is about as long as the history of man.
