ppl didn't identify as 'gay' around the times those pix were likely taken.
see: 'The Invention of Heterosexuality' - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/assault/context/katzhistory.html
and also b/c the touch we see in those pix ain't sexual or romantic. it's something else. but that can be hard for us to identify b/c we're not used to seeing men touch each other that way UNLESS it's sexual or romantic.
that's us projecting our stuff on them.
