Oh no not this issue again! Look there’s really no way of knowing for sure. Probably not even enough info to make a concrete guess.
But in the interests of lightening the discourse I offer:
Shakespear with a Sassy Gay friend. I recommend them highly. Especially to the theater geeks:
Romeo and Juliet!

Othello!

I hear Hitler was gay and right handed as well but so what? I doubt gays will be falling over themselves to claim him as one of their own unlike, say Lincoln. Instead of trying to find social acceptance by discovering that famous people were gay, why not be happy with yourself?Report
@Scott, I’ve never heard that. I *HAVE* heard that Hitler only had one ball. Goring had two… but very small. Himmler had something similar. And Goebbels had no balls at all.Report
Ah poor oh Goebbels.Report
I’m sorry, but the correct title of this post was “Four score and seven dudes ago…”Report
