Because people are still used to gay=bad, whether it's being used to describe sexuality or as a degrogatory to say they're stupid/etc.

To the straights, it can be hard for them come out of the heteronormative worldview and consider someone else may be different from themselves. A lot of them think "well Someone would have known!" Well, yea, that's very likely true. But that doesn't mean they conveniently wrote, "dear diary, I'm a queermosexual," or "dear diary, my buddy told me they're a queermosexual," for historians to find later. That's knowing about codes like the earring or ascot thing, or the white flag outside your home, to name a few more modern examples, are so helpful to us now.

They don't understand it was - and still very much Is - really dangerous to even suggest you were queer. Because different, because bigotry, because scared of the Other.
