Dude! Really??
JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES WAS GAY?!?!
HOW did I not know this? Why do I constantly find out about all these cool historical figures being gay only years after I learn about their accomplishments? Does academia collectively whitewash (straight-wash?) their heroes, or do I simply lack historical gaydar?
Still, John Maynard Keynes, father of modern economic thought, I mean, come on! This is right up there with Langston Hughes (still mad about that one) and Alan Turing. Damn.
