You’ve definitely got a point, though the reactionaries will downvote you regardless. While I don’t think it’s right to decide if someone is queer without their say so, there were definitely a high number of historical figures that would be considered queer today, many of whom kept it hidden. Queerness isn’t a new thing after all.
