Historians: …well, we can’t really say these historical figures were “gay,” because “gay” and “homosexual” are very modern identities. In different times people had very different views of sexuality.

Me: …so, by that same idea, I guess we can’t say they’re straight either, right?

Historians:

This is what I’ve been saying. No one in history was straight until very recently.
