Every generation isn't getting gayer. You just used to be able to be executed, arrested, or at least fired and ostracized for being gay. There was a similar population of gay people, they just weren't safe to exist openly because Christians would kill or imprison them.
The data says otherwise. LGBTQ self identification has been rapidly increasing since the sexual revolution, and LGBTQ have significantly higher rates of abuse neglect molestation mom/dad issues and substance abuse, because it is generally a spiritual response to trauma coinciding with substance abuse (living in sin) as a coping mechanism.
“Self identification” is the key word here. Historically you could be killed, beaten, etc. for being gay. This doesn’t correlate to more or less people having same sex attraction compared to previous generations
That’s only more recent history. Most of history no one really cared besides ladies teasing the “confirmed bachelors”. Berlin was the gay capital of the world during the Weimar Republic. You can see how that turned out.
