Though tbh, I'm not sure we really gloss over most of accomplishments of gay people, just the fact that they were gay.
I will admit I'm surprised when I hear some historical figures were gay. Maybe with how illegal and repressed it used to be, it's easy to forget gay people actually existed before the 1960s tbh.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
