I would be more than happy to write a follow-up article about how their sexuality influenced their work and their impact on the world. But I'm sure that would trigger the conservatives and homophobes too. These people don't truly care about preserving these historical figures' privacy--they're just trying to find an acceptable means to channel their homophobia. Nowhere in my article do I imply that homosexuality or bisexuality is "unnatural" or abnormal. My point is that it's unjust to suppress this information because suppressing it perpetuates our culture's heteronormativity...
