Original Note:
Coward was a same-sex attracted homosexual man. Homosexuality was illegal for almost his entire life, and he did not present in a way that made his own sexuality obvious. "Queer" was a slur that would have been followed by physical violence and/or imprisonment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No%C3%ABl_Coward
