That's right, everyone who ever lived, is living, and will live in the future is a homo.

Unless they were bad or ignoble people.

Stalin, Rasputin, the Zodiac Killer, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Ivan Grozny, Judas, Quisling, Hitler, Pol Pot, Nero, Cesare Borgia, and Tiglath-Pileser will never be gay.

Clara Barton, Rembrandt, St Francis, Julius Caser, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Winston Churchill should be gay any day now.

"Alexander the Great ... should be gay any day now."

Already been done.Look here

To quote:

"So, these caveats made, let me turn to the question of Alexander. Was Alexander the Great gay?

No. I say no, not because he had no relationships with men and boys but because our term "homosexual" and "gay" are inappropriate terms for antiquity. Some may feel this to be splitting hairs. It is not. Language shapes us. It shapes the way we see the world. The ancient Greeks had no word which corresponded to our "homosexual"--hence my preference for "homoerotic." The ancients viewed one's choice of bedpartner as a choice--not a reflection of deepseated psychological preferences. In this respect, they were someone more blasé about it all than we are today."

Also (allegedly) from "Famous Quotes the History Books Missed"

"I once went to bed with a man to see what it was like."

--Winston Churchill, 1874-1965, British prime minister

More here

"Disney recently bought Capital Cities/ABC for $19 billion. On March 19, ABC aired a Dana Carvey Show program which featured jokes and laughter about alcohol abuse and cocaine addiction. The same show had Carvey portray George Washington using cocaine and Ben Franklin in bed with another man."

And Peter the Great.

"Nevertheless we learn nearly all the facts we need to know about our hero's violence and alcoholism, his probable homosexual relations with Menshikov"

Catherine the Great took a little longer.

"Catherine even stated that she felt "unloved" since childhood(Alexander 21). Johanna delivered a final blow before she left St. Petersburg by ordering the removal of Maria Zhukora, one of Catherine's close friends, from the royal court. Elizabeth agreed; both feared a possible lesbian relationship between the two women."

"Dangling from a silver chain under his short-sleeve shirt is a medal of St. Francis of Assisi, a 12th Century playboy whose conversion began with his embrace of a leper."

Not to mention the jokes about how St. Francis shied away from fights because he was "Assisi."

A recent book "The Hidden Hitler" makes the case that der furher was queer. How come that isn't being shouted from the rooftops by the gay lobby? Never mind....

"Caesar's physical vitality perhaps partly accounts for his sexual promiscuity, which was out of the ordinary, even by contemporary Greek and Roman standards. It was rumoured that during his first visit to the East he had had homosexual relations with King Nicomedes of Bithynia. The rumour is credible, though not proved, and was repeated throughout Caesar's life."
