Well, we may not have that, but there are at least a dozen "Gay male"
composer compilations. Some of them stretch it to the breaking point too.
They include the likes of Beethoven, Chopin and Schubert. I don't think
there is a lot of evidence to back up these assumptions. Furthermore, who
gives a tinker's damn about the sexuality of a composer. To be truthful,
I can only think of one composer for whom his homosexuality played a
significant role in the way he composed music. That would be Benjamin
Britten, and then it is but an underlying meaning.
