So it turns out a lot of people were gay*

Michelangelo & Leonardo. Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, Tolstoy. Marlon Brando. Maria Schneider. Marilyn Chambers. Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great. (Most of the Ancient Greeks; come to think of it, it's a wonder there are any Modern Greeks). Shakespeare, Allen Ginsberg, Somerset Maugham. Isaac Newton. J. Edgar Hoover and Eleanor Roosevelt (not together). Even Harvey Fierstein.

Certainly true in some cases. But I don't think all of those people were gay. I think there is one gay historian going around claiming people.

Don't get me started on people who insist on calling God 'She'.


*not that there's anything wrong with being Tom Cruise. I mean gay.
