That's the real problem here. I'm not as concerned about Milk about whom there is no question but there's scant verifiable history on who was homosexual and who was not in history.

Who knows how extensive revisionism could get. In the recent past it was claimed Lincoln was gay. I noticed even in the early 90s gays activists would 'adopt' peoples, living and historical, as gays even when it evidence was non existent. The question is what standards will the educational establishment use to determine who was or wasn't gay?

Couldn't have said it better. Gay activists see "gay" in all kinds of historical figures. Their "evidence" is sketchy at best. Lincoln gay? Because he slept in the same bed as another man? That was COMMON in that era. It's not like they had hotels with turn-down service in the 1840s.

As to Alan Turing, never heard of him, but it does seem like he made some important discoveries. But not as monumental as Oppenheimer or Von Braun. And what are they going to say in the textbooks? Gay guy Turing discovered...and then he, as a gay-American...developed...in conclusion, gay man Turing...
