Was tesla gay

However, some evidence suggests that Tesla may have been gay. In addition to his close friendship with Robert Underwood Johnson, Tesla also had a strong emotional attachment to his friend George Sylvester Viereck, a poet and writer. Tesla’s sexuality has never been much discussed. The reason may be that it seems quite clear that he was gay, if in a day when such words—and realities—would be kept unspoken.

So I've been reading up recently and I've discovered a few things that brought me to the conclusion that Tesla couldn't have been gay or bisexual. It's very commonly thought that Tesla was asexual, but I have a few doubts. But Tesla spotted Edison in the crowd, called attention to him and led the audience in giving him a standing ovation.

Seifer qualifies it more, saying the two had a love/hate relationship. At. There are a lot of assumptions about Tesla's private life, but the only thing that we are sure of is that he never got married. Due to his indifference towards women, he was a perfect material for gossiping and whispers that he was gay, but there is no evidence of this. Hello Martin, I just wish to say that I came across your title and it made me nauseous at first, to be frank.

I was not sure what you were trying to say. Then in reading I realized you took Nikola's defense. The s and s were dominated by men as you well know, also everybody had a body odor because hygiene was different. Women, I heard, were the worse. Nikola had a great germ phobia because he almost died from diseases, and I am certain that he was very put off by smelly folks. As far as spending time with men, if he wished to push forward, women surely would not give him that opportunity.

Still nowadays the majority of the planet is ruled by men. To me it is exceedingly unlikely he liked men, other than close friendships. We need to leave him be about such subject, it is very disrespectful. A man of his importance and prestige should be honored and the sex thing left aside. I do not understand our society where all revolves around sexual activity, too many people worry about such trivial matters nowadays and I see it as plain stupidity and lack of intelligence.

As far as I am concerned, I do know Nikola very privately. The man is catastrophically shy but he is all man. And that is how I wish to close my message. Thank you very much for your article. Still we wonder just for shits. To me it would make sense that he would be either, gay, sneaky, or just an alien god, requiring no Human contact lol If Tesla want born, the same stuff would be invented. It's not inventions, it's just discovery.

He was probably smart. But i think he would not mind girls, I mean their quite alright. Yet he didn't. Soooo , what's up with that? I didn't know Tesla, maybe I like him, maybe i hate him. I never met him. I cannot know him.

Yet despite the opinion

I cannot truly say what is our is not. If he was gay, I would not see it as bad. He would have just been himself. Maybe back in the good old days people were not as perverted. But hey. Alexander had rumors. It wouldn't point to positive or negative.
