Thank you for the list of queer pioneers. It is already quite exhaustive but to complete it would be exhausting. Many of us could be regarded as candidates for the list, perhaps.

Thanks, Ray…from what little I know, you would definitely be a good candidate for the list. Do you happen to have a Wikipedia page? If so, I know how to add you. :-*
No Wikipedia page. Lots of stuff on Google (I have checked just now for the first time) - mostly repetitive, some from Substack. Fame or fortune have never been my thing.
I was simply wanting to make the point that queer people have achieved things and have been incidentally queer. Others have deliberately fought homophobia, sought inclusion or militantly proclaimed their queerness. Tchaikovsky, for example, is well known as a composer but I don't think he ever wanted to be known as gay. Pioneer or not pioneer? Pioneer in music, certainly; in queer politics not so much.

I guess I need to Google you, boo. I forget how interconnected we are to each other and human history. Thank you for the reminder. Cheers!
