Okay I'm gay, but it really annoys me when certain gay activists go around trying to claim everyone in history. I've looked at the evidence and for the most part it seems that there is no convincing evidence that these great minds were homosexuals.
I also hate the fact that they claim Lincoln and ignore Buchanan. I mean if we're going to claim the good on shaky (at best) evidence then we also have to take the very bad for whom there is much better evidence. (For anyone reading who doesn't know Buchanan is the US President right before Lincoln who all but tried to break up the Union. And he was a queer as $3. He supported slavery because his deceased lover, Senator Ruffus King of Alabama, supported it.)

Oh and the Amazons were mostly likely myths.
