Know anymore?

It's interesting... a lot of the history, especially the renaissance, was pretty much dominated by gay men, that we still learn about and study today.
If they were openly gay, and it just wasn't suspicions, it'd be interesting how it would play out today. I wonder if we'd still see them in our textbooks... hmm....
Oh, I just remembered Keith Haring.
