Hans Christian Andersen, was either gay, or bi or something else. Since the first time he saw a naked woman, he felt nausea. And some people shouts out "he was not gay bla bla bla". Well for a matter of fact, the socalled proof they talk about is that he was penpal with a female dancer. please Correct me , if I am wrong about the dancer. But he was in love with a man. And pictured the man he was in love with, as a "husband", and himself as the "wife" so to speak, and I am not talking about HC Andersen felt he was born in the wrong genders body or anything like that.

But screw it, anyway HC Andersen was probrely(SP?) gay.

Edit, it wasn´t an attack on any gay people, that I said H.C. Andersen was gay.

Elton John.

Virginia Woolf.

Did I spell her last name right? I've been reading so many badly-spelled essays today that I'm starting to think it's rubbing off!

Abraham Lincoln was rumored to have had a relationship with a young man named Joshua Speed during his pre-White House years. Many people, both historians and GLBT, seem to think that Honest Abe may have been gay or bisexual and that this might explain his liberal attitudes toward slavery.

SamuelX, I read a great book called Improper Bostonians, put out by The History Project, about famous (and not-so-famous) queer Bostonians throughout the city's history. You might find it really interesting, if you can find a copy somewhere (library would probably have it).

Tchaikovsky was bi, I think. Langston Hughes. Sappho. (She had both male and female lovers.) The list stretches on forever.

James Balwin who was not only gay but black too. He authored several mediocre (in my opinion) novels which were "novel" for their portrayal of various social classes and sexual types mingling together.

If we consider his advocacy of socialism with his other qualities he may have been the most odd man out of his time.

He was also known for his brilliant essays (consensus of critics) examining otherwise unexamined beliefs of prejudice and conventional attitudes.

He lived abroad for years, mostly in France and found a level of acceptance there as was not uncommon in literary circles of the time.

OK...That's about the only thing I learned in Lit class. I've waited more years than I care to reveal about how long it's been since I read his stuff until now. I guess I have finally found the answer to my ponderings about whether "any of this crap will ever be useful"...smile....
