I'm not sure what that has to do with my point other than reinforcing it. Gay people are exactly that: people. Some were famous/important to history. A vast majority of them weren't. Same with straight people. And standing on the graves of what came before as a way of proving/disproving something in the modern era is dumb.

Yes. I was strongly agreeing with you.

Ah. Well, I'm being critiqued by others. I figured you were dogpiling. I do apologize.

Yeah. I don't think someone's sexuality factors into what makes them important. Dr. Alexander Fleming is important because of his discovery, not because of what he got up to in the bedroom.
