Wikipedia: In the historiography of the second half of the 20th century, much interest was shown in Richard's sexuality, in particular whether there was evidence of homosexuality. The topic had not been raised by Victorian or Edwardian historians, a fact denounced as a "conspiracy of silence" by John Harvey (1948).[148] The argument primarily drew on accounts of Richard's behaviour, as well as of his confessions and penitences, and of his childless marriage.[149] Richard did have at least one illegitimate child, Philip of Cognac, and there are reports on his sexual relations with local women during his campaigns.[150] Historians remain divided on the question of Richard's sexuality.

Brilliant

I can easily imagine it, indeed.

O God, have mercy.

Great video. Thank you. Although some of them may be non gay people. Bisexual, perhaps. P.S. I am an etero man.

There is a lot of french ppl lol 🤘

I happen to be straight, however a friend of mine long ago once derided gay people during our evening together. I replied that were it not for gay males you wouldn't be wearing designer clothing to attract a female. He hadn't ever thought of that before and hopefully started thinking less narrow mindedly from then on. 🤔

Are people sure that Eleanor Roosevelt was "gay?" Since she had several children with her husband, Frankin D. Roosevelt, and if she had sexual relationships with women as well, then the conclusion would be that she was bisexual.

To say that King Richard l (the "Lionheart") was "gay" is too much of a stretch because it can't be determined without doubt. It's possible he had sex with men, but that can't be proven. Also, he did not have children, but that isn't proof that he was "gay." People need to be careful when discussing personal details of historical figures because if not enough research has been done you might be making assertions that aren't true.

im blown away by some of the people listed and thank you for this and i loved how you ended it with "its not who you sleep..."

Richard the lionheart… isn’t someone we should be proud of considering the ages of his lovers… do better

That message at the end. Tell the gays that.

Great list. Imagine how much more informative it would been if it hadn't been restricted to white males and one white woman.

If it wasn't for gay people, we would all be wearing burlap sacks as clothes and banana skins for shoes...

Alexander the Great, Prince Eugene of Austria, King James of England

YEAH JUST THINK " THE WORLD 🌎🌍 WOULD BE GREY WITHOUT THE GAY 🏳️‍🌈 " .

Forgot Liberace. Richard Lion Heart is a surprise.

that wasn't true most of these are straight you just love to lie in favor of a disgusting act

Devemos respeitar as opções de cada pessoa ,a homossexualidade sempre existiu desde os primórdios.

I love Oscar Wilde and his chaotic life! I didn’t know that most of these people were gay, but that’s awesome! Another person to include is Donatello, the other Ninja Turtle/artist who made a glorious David statue (this one is made of bronze and David has a hat)

Me every slide: Don't care. Don't care. Don't care

Not gay but knew most of those. One I would dispute very much would be Van Gogh, read a lot about his life never found any suggestion that he was gay. So would like to know the source. Is it based on his fiery ill fated collaboration with Gauguin when he followed him in the street with a razor? He favoured relationships with prostitutes-female. If you google was Van Gogh gay you get silly idiots saying probably, based on relationship with Gauguin. Equally Gauguin favoured women and in later life very young women. So in VG's case pretty lazy research. Clue is in his artwork no homo eroticism there that I'm aware of.

Most of these were bi sexual, not strictly homosexual.

Augustus wasn't homosexual! Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind... but he just wasn't / Speaking of cultural homoeroticism you showed us many not so important figures and ommited those who really mattered like Alexander the Great or Socrates. I can really imagine our world without Montgomery Clift, Elton John or J.M.Barrie it wouldn't be much different... But really without Alexander, Socrates, Hadrian our civilization would be much different and probably much worse. Their sexuality wasn't so important. Their genius was.

J Edgar Hoover Joe McCarthy Roy Cohn Roger Stone Enrique Tarrio Charlie Kirk

A todos esos les gustaba la guasa?

Although he isn’t that famous, I think John Adams’ other son Charles Adams should go on the list. Although he had a wife and two girls, he had a relationship with a male neighbor of his. Charles often drank to much and died of cirrhosis of the liver caused by to much alcohol on November 30 1800 at the young age or 30.

What about Abraham Lincoln

Jules Verne ? Euhhhhhhh...

A totally arbitrary list with some highly questionable inclusions.

This little trans girl is crying with pride because she never knew so many of these icons were gay!🥲🥲🥹🥹

1:25 Elton John and 2:45 Freddie Mercury are two of my favourite musicians of all time, thank you for showing them here 🌈

Some of these people are bisexual.

I am not gay what viewing this video made me realise that all or practically these people were into the arts like philosophy art music writers actors etc,I interpret this that gay people are beautiful who love life peace not war mongers.

Augustus was not gay, although Hadrian was. Richard I was not gay either. Sometimes people's enemies spread lies about their sexuality.

More than half of the examples of gay men you've cited were in fact bisexuals. But then we're used to being ignored, even by our LGTQ "allies". #smh

Video meraviglioso, andrebbe corretto sostituendo qualche nome con Alan Turing e André Gide e sarebbe perfetto

Aristotle was not gay

I do not agree, not all could be considered gay. Not judging, no should you.

Imagine how much greater their contributions to the world might have been had they not been gay.

Why did you leave Tchaikovsky out.

I was aware of Florence of Arabia, but am doubtful of some of the people mentioned. "If history had not occurred the way it did, that does not mean it would not have occurred at all".

some of these people i'd never heard of; others i had, but didn't know their sexuality. ¡thanks for the history lesson, and Happy Pride Month! -- an ally who has a _lot_ to learn

They were not heterosexual you idiots, whether you like it or not, hate people who want everyone to be straight, this is so meaningless.

Kind of interesting to see how many folks are desperate to say there are some non-gay people shown here.

Anyone else here from the site 10 years ago?

You came from tiktok did you

on s'en fout !!!
