gingembre says:

A remarkable website, revealing the lives and works of fascinating gay or bisexual men from "recent" history (19th C to present day). Featured by birthday, but also categorized by personal characteristics and/or work.

"Some of the people featured are highly significant figures to the gay community for their creativity or activism."

"Some are highly significant figures in their fields - art, music, science, literature, politics, whatever - who happened to be gay. Sometimes their homosexuality is irrelevant; often it has a part to play in creating that sense of difference or 'otherness' that marks out the genius, the maverick, the innovator. Sometimes, the friendships created by shared homosexuality have created or been significant in whole movements - dance , poetry, writing, art and music all have examples of this."

"If you are gay, know your culture.
If you are not, know that your world would not be the same without us."

Kudos to Peter Rivendell for creating Gay For Today
