i'm sure that person did great stuff and i'm not saying it didnt take them a lot of courage and strength to come out at the time they did but "first openly gay man in world history"? really? in all of documented human history, from all over the world, there has never been an openly gay person before 1870? c'mon

Probably first openly gay man in modern western society
