It works is like this.
whoever makes the biggest list of gay servicemen or veterans wins
the right to use the sailor from the village people as their avatar.
(you don't have to use him you just have the right)
famous is based on wikipedia standards of notability
if they don't have a wikipage they don't count.
I will start.
Harvey Milk - Navy

There is some support to the idea that Frederick the Great may have been homosexual

His father also created an infantry regiment called the "Potsdam Giants" that was reserved to very tall soldiers. To quote him:

the most beautiful girl or woman in the world is a matter of indifference to me, but tall soldiers, they are my weakness

Indeed!

Another military gay: Ernst Rohm was in the Bavarian army before he formed the SA.

Also, James Whale (the man who directed Frankenstein) fought in WWI.
