You could make an argument that Lovecraft was asexual, since according to his wife, he was completely uninterested in sex and she had to initiate everything, but asexual is a retarded label for having a low sex drive.And imagine trying to reinvent Lovecraft as a queer when a lot of themes from his work stem from his own xenophobia and racism.
Actually, it's a little known fact Lovecraft is a huge leftist progressive. He is so dedicated to anti-racism that he works to destigmatize the most oppressive slur in daily life by addressing his cat. The most underrated communist in history.
You joke, but his actual political leanings were close to socialism. (Then there's At the Mountains of Madness where the humans end up emphatizing with the Elder Things whose society was apparently socialist (and propped up by slave labor and destroyed by slave uprising to confuse early 21st century progressives)).
