The articles on the sexual orientation of the Founders might be interesting to some, but as the author, Pier Angelo, suggests it is largely subjective, and may be far less interesting than understanding how fluid sexuality and orientation was (and is) going all the way back to the earliest humans.

In the 1970s, I launched a campaign to end LGBT invisibility on television. Years later, that mission to show the public who we were expanded to another arena we’d long been written out of: American History. Just as television producers ignored us, so too had historians. Sadly, such erasure is happening again today, this time because of both the glaring absence and defamatory framing of LGBT people in Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary “The American Revolution.” How can LGBT people be both omitted and defamed in the documentary? Simple: the use of age-old stereotypes.
