We are talking about comics here, not real life. Even Batman and Robin slept in beds standing right next to each other. And despite what movies and TV-series want you to believe, not having access to the other sex does not make you lesbian or gay. Which is why straight prisoners don't have sex as long as they are in jail.

What case do we have where there's no other member of the opposite sex around so they just go with same sex..?
I mean, if you wanted to make the point that ancient Greeks were pretty, um, 'free love' oriented, okay. But while Greek men were notorious for swinging in both directions, it was rare for two men of the same age to be in a sexual relationship. In fact, ancient Greece would have been the ideal haven for NAMBLA. The more 'feminine' the boy, the more attractive he was to older men. They lost their attractiveness by growing body hair.
A traditional Greek custom (and I'm stressing ancient Greece because, ya know, Zeus is Wonder Woman's father) would be arranged marriages for the women. So saying that Wonder Woman would be a lesbian for lack of a better option is justillogical when you get right down to it. When you actually look at the heritage of the character, it should be more in line with those customs. So that they're attempting to apply real world logic in such a way that states that Wonder Woman would be bisexual just because she needs some lovin' is the same as saying that all people have the same basis for their sexuality. And that, honestly, is just insulting. But, as freakin' usual, people only think hard enough to beep something up -

As others have said, one writer changing something doesn't carve it into stone. Diana left Themyscira at a young age originally and Steve Trevor was her first awakening of any sort of sexual feelings towards another. Silver Age changed things and that's when Diana was thousands of years old, though she still had contact with the outside world and many amazons remained chaste throughout that period. Wonder Woman and Superman spent 1000 years in another dimension with each other and nothing happened, they developed feelings for each other through war, but they also showed restraint over the 1000 years. In The New 52 Wonder Woman was 23 years old and the amazons regularly interacted with men as well.
There's been a big push to make many of these characters either gay or lesbian lately, including the supposed Ivy and Harley relationship, Catwoman, Midnighter, Batwoman and her rumored relationship with Supergirl, and now Wonder Woman. Why don't they just call everyone a hedonist and be done with it. It's the swingin' 60s all over again, man.

It's just one of those persistent rumors that won't go away.
