Paul Lynde.

Major Nixon supporter, major pussyhound.

I'm Walt Whitman, waiting for the right girl to come along

Alan Turing, father of the modern computer(if you will) was persecuted and his homosexuality muffled. He eventually committed suicide, whitewashing a lot of his accomplishments which took years to restore.

I'm Leonardo da Vinci, assumed to be heterosexual by the public despite never having married or fathered children, and leaving my estate to my two decidedly male protégés and longtime companions. Those sodomy charges were just spiteful rumors.

I'm Alexander Hamilton, who almost certainly was in love with fellow soldier John Laurens, whose death he never got over, but no one knows that because Lin Manuel Miranda's giant ego wrote him as a pussyhound who was irresistible to all women in his stupid show just so he could cast himself.

"Congressman" Jeanette Rankin, whose secret, in Nov. 1956, was that she was the first member of her gender elected to Congress.

Jeanette Rankin voted against authorizing both world wars.

I'm George Washington the Father of His Country. Strangely, I fathered no children of my own.🤔

What am I chopped liver? One questionable men's room encounter and everyone forgets.

From a history nerd - thanks for starting this topic!

I'm Michelangelo. I'm too busy to find a wife and have kids.

I'm John Nash and I'm totally straight

I'm Jesus. Nice Jewish boy, never married (oi!) and chose to host an all-male brunch before being executed.

R13, this Dec. 2022, one-day, thread was resurrected today by R7.

Grandma and Grandpa Walton. Big lesbian and a very politically active gay man.

But 99% of America have no clue.

I'm Nelson Eddy. For some reason, over-the-hill fangirls are still trying to pretend I was in love with Jeannette MacDonald

I'm Lord Kitchener

I'm Willa Cather, and I'm married -- to Nebraska!

I'm Cecil Rhodes and I was married to the British Empire!

I'm Lord Baden-Powell. I was a chickenhawk but please don't say that out loud
