Leonardo da Vinci

 * Leonardo da Vinci+, Italian artist and inventor (debated)

This entry is not really supported by his WP article. It's mentioned yes, but as speculation. But it's not exactly a question of finding an external citation either. Leonardo is old enough and familiar enough that we all kind of know the story, and all the sources will say pretty much the same thing: It has been widely speculated that Leonardo was homosexual, but given this historical period and temporal distance, no one will ever really know more than they do now (that the idea is plausible but unprovable).

 * The historical consensus and the preponderance of circumstantial evidence indicates that Leonardo was gay.-- LKS 5/13/06

Lee Mroszak
I have removed Lee Mroszak (aka "Crazy Cabby") from the Confirmed list. Mrozak has admitted to letting a man fellate him, he does not identify himself as gay or bisexual, he identifies himself as heterosexual. Simply having an encounter does not make someone a confirmed homosexual or bisexual. I will concede that he could possibly be placed on the "Disputed" list, but since he is not a confirmed bisexual, he shouldn't be placed on this list. ExRat 00:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Removing Anais Nin
According to Deirdre Bair, author of Anais Nin: A Biography, Anais Nin only had one lesbian sexual encounter, which she did not enjoy. I hardly think that qualifies Anais Nin as a bisexual. So, I'm going to remove Anais Nin from this list. -- Andrew Parodi 03:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Mary II of England
This entry has no supporting citation for her inclusion on this list. The main article on Queen Mary II states that she had an unhappy marriage, but nothing else about this subject. I have no idea whether she was or was not a lesbian, and would ask that those that do, comment. If she belongs on this list, a citation to appropriate authority should be included. Franklin Moore 17:47, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Guidelines for inclusion
As one of the persons that monitors this page, it is difficult enough without the following paragraphs as a standard:

Sources that support the inclusion of names in this list are either the biographical articles about these persons in this encyclopedia (marked with a "+" sign), or external sources as provided.

''If you wish to add someone to this list please ensure that he or she has a Wikipedia article and that article contains reasonable documentation for inclusion on this list, or alternatively provide external and reputable sources to substantiate their inclusion. ''

Why were they removed twice by the same person?

The following header for each letter of the alphabet was also useful to avoid inappropriate additions:

--- EDITORS: do not add anyone to this list unless they have a biography on Wikipedia which mentions their orientation. --

This was only seen on edit and again was removed twice by the same person. Other thoughts? Doc 22:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Vincente Minnelli
I added a Fact several months ago. I was familiar with hearsay about Minnelli's orientation before I got to Wikipedia, but the article on Minnelli says nothing about it. One of my professors in grad school was a specialist on Minnelli, and he mentioned that Minnelli was often though to be bisexual, but was careful never to say that he was, and that professor is openly gay. If someone can't provide a substantial reference, I'm considering removing it. --Scottandrewhutchins 00:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Gene Malin
I can't believe that Gene Malin does not have his own article or stub entry. He was the first big drag queen actor, entertainer, from the 1920's, and he figures prominently in George Chauncey's Gay New York. See Pansy Craze. This is a must-add article, folks! Bearian 01:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * As it says at the top of the list, "people rumored to be gay are not included." -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I am a bit confused
The article says that it is not listing people "rumored to be gay". Well, Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci or several Chinese emperors, for example, may have been gay, but there is no certainty about this, so they should not be included in the list (or we should change the introduction and say that this list includes people who may have been gay or who were likely to be homosexual.

Manners, the actor who appeared in the original 'Dracula' and 'The Mummy', and who was briefly a lover of gay director James Whale (who directed both movies) is confirmed on his wiki page as being gay. --98.226.9.223 (talk) 12:54, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Gay or bisexual?
This says that Freddie Mercury was bisexual. I can think of a viable argument for this (that since at one point he was in a relationship with Mary Austin and at another point, Barbara Valentin, he was not exclusively gay), but I think he should be listed as gay, and not bisexual, because most sources do refer to him as gay, not bisexual, and that is how most people would instinctively refer to him. I'm not sure, but saying that he was bisexual seems much too specific. I'm posting it here because this could be interpreted either way and I don't want a whole load of other editors getting mad at me. A la d  insane   (Channel 2)  22:52, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Gordon Merrick
It is odd that the well-known early gay novelist Gordon Merrick (1916-1988) is not included in this list. Why not? Just check the Wikipedia article on him for references. He wrote 13 novels, all gay, and was openly gay. No one would deny it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.49.194 (talk) 01:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
