Beatrice Lillie (May 29, 1894 – January 20, 1989): http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3056562.html
Beatrice Lillie (May 29, 1894 – January 20, 1989) was an actress and comedic performer. "Many women prominent in New York theater, such as Beatrice Lillie, Jeanne Eagels, Tallulah Bankhead, and Libby Holman, established public reputations as sexually adventuruos women with both female and male partners. Their association with respectable Broadway theater gave them economic security as well as the social freedom to live their lives outside the cultural and sexual mainstream." Lillian Faderman
John Minton (December 25, 1917 - January 20, 1957): http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/1415900.html
John Minton was an English painter, illustrator and stage designer. He became a teacher in London, and at the same time maintained a consistently large output of works. In addition to landscapes, portraits and other paintings, he built up a reputation as an illustrator of books. In the mid-1950s, Minton found himself out of sympathy with the abstract trend that was then becoming fashionable, and felt increasingly sidelined. He suffered psychological problems and in 1957 committed suicide.

Lee Bantle lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn in a sunny apartment where he does his writing. He set David Inside Out in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he grew up and went to college: In this thoughtful yet searing coming-of-age novel, Lee Bantle offers a raw, honest, and incredibly compelling account of a teenager who learns to accept himself for who he is.

Randy Burns: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/4145010.html
Randy Burns is a Northern Paiute and a member of the Pyramid Lake Indian Tribe. In 1975, along with the late Barbara Cameron, Burns founded Gay American Indians, an organization that serves the Gay and Lesbian Native American community. "At a very early age I was aware of being gay. It was very difficult to be open about my sexual preference living in an Indian reservation and being proud of my Paiute heritage. Now that I am out, I hope to be a positive role model for young Gay American Youths."
Reynolds Price (February 1, 1933 – January 20, 2011): http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3426189.html
Oxford University and Britain—which had scarcely recovered from the severe demands of WWII—were places of enormous vitality for Reynolds Price. From spotting J.R.R. Tolkien on the street in Oxford to intimate dinners with W. H. Auden and Stephen Spender, Price was welcomed into the company of the most respected intellectual and artistic circles. Fully entrenched in the culture of his era, Price unfailingly makes clear the connections between his experience and the tradition of world literature.
