First Gay Monument

[edit]

A footnote to the current article suggests that Alan Turing, not Alexander Wood, was the subject of the first monument to a gay individual in the world. I would think that Alexander the Great and the emperor Hadrian have priority here, though their monuments were not primarily to their gaiety. The soldier Sir Hector MacDonald. who shot himself in 1903, had a bust erected at his grave in 1904 and monuments put up in Dingwall and Mulbuie in 1907. He also appears on the Camp Coffee label.
