The impact is going to seem greater depending on your generation and time frame you grew up. I think of people like Liberache, Rock Hudson, Barry Manilow who were huge draws to women as far as their roles or types of music they made. (Maybe less so Liberache.) Today a lot of people would say someone open, like Elton John or Neil Patrick Harris, because they went public earlier in their life, if at all.

Are we asking who is famous for being homosexual? Or we asking who is famous that just happens to also be homosexual?

maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but are you insinuating that either Elton John or NPH are famous for being gay?

No I am asking if the OP is considering most famous people that are openly homosexual or people that were homosexual but most didn't know it at the height of their career; ie being famous. Not many people are going to think Rock Hudson first for being famous, because many might not know he was homosexual as compared to someone open about it like Elton John.

I thought he was bisexual.

Anyway.

Actual answer is probably Alan Turing.

George Michaels, Neil Patrick Harris, George Takei, and Tim Cook are all pretty strong contenders.

If we add women into the mix, Ellen Degeneres, Rosie O'Donnel, and Ellen Page are all high tier popularity.

There is no real evidence that he was gay. In ancient greece, homosexuality wasn't viewed the same as it is today. It was something you do not something you are, and it was a lot more common / normalized at the time.

I think it's RuPaul.

Old and young gays will all know who he/she is. It should be Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Riviera, but the overwhelming majority of us are trash, and talking about LBGT history at the bar is lame when you could kiki about the latest episode of Fire Island.

No. But there is a lot of evidence that he and his childhood best friend hooked up frequently across their young adult lives, across the string of Alexander's political marriages (wherein he fathered children), to the final days of Hephestion's life. It's easily his longest and most meaningful relationship.

We even have Diogenes writing salacious tabloid prose about Alexander's 'weakness' to the temptation of Hephestion's inner thigh. Yes, homosexuality meant something different to the Ancient Greeks, but exclusively homosexual relationships were still rare. That said they definitely existed.
