LGBT+ folks: never forget that we have always existed. We are not some fad or some trend. We are the movers and shakers of history.
Our terms and labels may be modern, but our existence is not.
- (Since the following list will be of historical figures, I will use what might be the best modern equivalent for their identity based on evidence, though they would not have described themselves in these terms)
William Shakespeare, famous playwright, is thought to have been bi.
Langston Hughes, poet of the Harlem Renaissance, was gay.
Abraham Lincoln, American President, is thought to have been bi.
Chevalier D'eon, french solider and spy, was a trans woman (or non-binary?)
Emperor Ai of Han, Chinese Emperor, was gay
Emperor Hadrian, Roman Emperor, was bi
Anne Seymour Damer, English sculptor, was a lesbian (possibly bi)
Sappho, famous Greek poet, was a lesbian
Casanova, Italian adventure and author, was bi
Michelangelo, famous renaissance artist, was gay
Alexander the Great, Emperor of Macedonia, was bi
Eleanor Roosevelt, US First Lady and philanthropist, was bi
Alan Turing, British Mathematician and father of modern computers, was gay
Sally Ride, first American woman in space, was a lesbian
Leonardo di Vinci, Renaissance inventor, was gay
James Buchanan, US President, was gay
Sylvia Rivera, activist, trans woman
The list goes on and on and on. Wikipedia has an “LGBT people in history” page for each letter of the alphabet.
We are more common, more important, and more amazing than we give ourselves credit for.
