Oh, we aren't. The history books will have to "find" gays that did great things. These could be people who did great things that we already knew were great (Abraham Lincoln), or they will just make up great things that were done by not-so-great people who were allegedly gay (Oscar Wilde). Or take a person who is largely presumed gay and puff his achievements as hard as possible (Oscar Wilde again).
Expect to see a lot of Oscar Wilde.

My guess would be they will seize historical figures, so to speak, say they were gay when in fact the weren't, and none of them are alive to refute it, affirm it, give permission for them to release said information, or deny them the right to use it.
Talk about privacy rights invasion!

I recall that Alan Turing was gay. During the War, the government accepted his service (out of necessity) despite his sexual orientation, but after the war he was rejected and consequently committed suicide.
