Is it correct to call him a homosexual?

It seems like Puller publicly denied being a homosexual even unto his death. Supposing that his confession actually was extracted from him, it was extracted under duress, and the ones torturing him had a vested interest in simply having him disappear. Given that, I think describing him as being "notable for his homosexual liaisons" borders on disrespect for the dead. Fredo699 (talk) 11:50, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given the scholarly sources (going back to the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee) are uniform in referring to him a homosexual, I'd follow them here. And not to relitigate these horrendous trials, but he was accused of homosexuality three different times in two different legal territories, so while not beyond a reasonable doubt it's likely he did engage in at least some of these liaisons.
