“The knowledge that a [person] was or was not homosexual is not intended to “explain” their work nor is it to suggest a particular context in which to view [them]. It is, rather, the start of a process to look again and recover what has been traditionally been omitted from …history using this to inform the present, What we can do most profitably is reexamine the work and lives of [people] to search out from secrecy, prejudice, distortion and myth the homosexual presence and its wide significance in identifying homosexual expression.” — The Sexual Perspective, Emmanuel Cooper
