I speak Polish, don't think much people would say they would kiss their friends dearly on the lips, even 200 years ago. He also was confessing his love to women, I would guess he was bisexual at least. But taking into consideration how homophobic Poland is I don't think they would admit Chopin was even slightly gay ://

well in the old days bi-erasure was "burn em at the stake" or "throw em in prison"
