Unfortunately, no.

I have spent the better part of the last half hour looking up all the authors and artists whose works had an impact on me as a child or teenager, and I can find not one who isn't heterosexual. The closest I've come is Langston Hughes, who I did not know may have been homosexual until Levi told me -- but he was not necessarily important to me, I learned about his work in public school and loved several of his poems. There is also Truman Capote, whose novel 'In Cold Blood' I had to read in public school and whose main character I "performed" as for a project, but I don't think he was important to me either, I simply loved the book.

This is criminal as far as I'm concerned, and I feel that in 2019 I need to rectify this by reading as many works from gay creators as I can.
