which historical characters were gay, bisexual, hermaphrodites?

Question

those who are still alive mention them too

Answer 1

Richard Lion Hearted - Gay

Answer 2

*British kings Richard I and the II, Edward II, James I were allegedly gay (well, Edward II was definitely gay).

*Roman emperors Egabalus, Hadrian, and a handful of others.

*Alexander the Great was bisexual.

*Some suspect that Adolf Hitler may have been gay; one of my professors in college stated that Hitler liked to wear women's clothing (though he didn't present any evidence on this).

*Writer Marquis de Sade was bisexual (and pretty messed up, too).

There's probably tons of historical figures out there who are like that. Do a Google search to find out more.

Barney Franks, Senator from MA
Michelangelo
A lot of the Popes were either gay or bi

Answer 4

Caligula...easily one of the most gender-bending leaders of his day...had wives, had male lovers...sometimes appeared dressed up as a woman. You could toss most of Rome into the bisexual category, mostly because it didn't have the stigma that it does today.

Jefferson Davis dressed as a woman to get away from Union troops at the tail end of the Civil War...he was caught, insisted he was an actor, till they brought him to several Confederate troops who stood and saluted him...and then the gig was up.

William the Orange's son was gay...go watch Braveheart. What Mel doesn't show is how the boy met his end at the hands of Templar nights on orders from the vatican...they stuck a white-hot poker up his...well...you get the idea. His colon ruptured and he died of septic shock.

President Buchanan was rumored (possibly the worst kept rumor in Washington) to be gay. He spent 13 years living with a roommate, a Senator from Alabama named King who was VP under Franklin Pierce. He never married, was engaged but Ann (the girl) broke it off and died soon afterwards. Andrew Jackson referred to the both of them as "Aunt Fancy" and "Miss Nancy". Buchanan often wrote of the two men and their "communion". It has never been proven beyond a doubt that Buchanan and King were lovers, but there are others who Buchanan shared intimate moments with who would appear later on in life...like District Attorney of The District of Columbia Wm. Seward for whom the president was roommates with for a time in England.

Seward shot the son of Francis Scott Key in broad daylight across the street from the White House...the only real witness was a maid in the White House itself. The President gave the woman 200 dollars and told her to get the hell out of Washington and not turn back. The trial in 1858 was considered the Trial of the Century, as Seward assembled a modern-day dream team of lawyers to help his cause, and it was rumored that Buchanan funded most of it, and always had a representative in the courtroom for the comfort of Seward. The woman who was paid off by the president never showed and because she was the only eyewitness, there was no case and Seward was aquitted much to the relief of President Buchanan (incidentally, Buchanan has consistently ranked one of the bottom three worst presidents in history...He said that succession was illegal, but then, so was the war to get those states back, so essentially he did nothing when the ball was in his hands.

Rommel was gay...and there was also a queen in ancient Egypt (who's name escapes me) who dressed as and ruled as a pharoh for a time...she died of an absessed tooth (ow!).

Anyway, off to class...hope that helps!
