I hath considered that prhaps if I make a list of homosexuals that have greatly benefitted society, I would therein prove to my followers that homoosexuals are neither "devil possesed" nor "living in sin, away from God"?
Did I miss anyone?

To quote your own source:
1. These sources aren't particularly reliable. None are. Authorities that range from thorough professional biographies to rumours disagree on just who is/was or isn't/wasn't, and have about the same track record for accuracy. There is also a substantial cross-pollination between list-makers. An erroneous listing will show up again and again on other sources.
Nuff said

not really. i'm really not a huge fan of any of these people. my point is...people do stuff, good or bad, however you view it, they're gonna do it. marriage, however, as described in the bible is the union between a man and woman. why do homosexuals insist on trying to reform marriage into something it is not? why is it so important to get married? health benefits? tax break? benefactors that don't have to worry about probate? is it all about money? or, if it's not, why is it so important to you that i (or the law) recognize homosexual marriage as holy? do they just want to be in the club? what's going on with this?
