Also, Sir Isaac Newton, who never married, had no known women in his
life (except his sister with whom he lived), & who had warm relation-
ships with some of his students, who probably were also gay (eg, either
Taylor or McLaurin, inventor of the series bearing his name).  Even
Newton's "straight" biographer Frank Manuel (MIT Press) seems to think
Newton may have been gay.
