I think in some cases you are right, that there is fear involved.

But for me, I just think it is a useless excerise in trying to promote people as being homosexual when there are no facts to support it.

Even in Oscar Wildes case, although he was convicted, he always denied it. So for me whether he was or wasn't isn't proveable, and doesn't matter, because his works are wonderful.

But to try and out historical figures in the classroom, needs absolute proof.

Not like some book did about Abe Lincoln, implying he was homosexual, or Walt Whitman, because of the poems he wrote about him.

It's this I object to.
