I take it that by the term "homosexual" you include people who were attracted to members of the opposite sex throughout most of their lives, so that a person may be both homosexual and heterosexual. Or do I misunderstand you? I am trying to figure out why your list includes Schumann and Beethoven, but omits Tchaikovsky. What is the biographical evidence that either Schumann or Beethoven had any homosexual relationships? If there is none, allow me to present my list of American presidents who may have been homosexual: Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford Richard Nixon Lyndon Johnson etc. Richard Carnes
