RE: Now I wonder if you can name ten who are not?

Let’s see... Winston Churchill, Stephen Hawking, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton, Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Francis Crick, T. S. Eliot, Paul Dirac.

Actually, now that I think about it, that's not really an appropriate measure. Because Homosexuals make up 1.8% (latest most scientific survey) of the population, to bring the numbers back into balance, you need to name ~ 50 times the number of normal people that are not queers.

I guess that means that if there are 10 prominent homosexuals in England from the last half Century, then you should have to name 500 prominent Englishmen in the last half Century who are not Homosexual.

The 1-1 ratio you have matched so far, actually supports my point quite strongly.
