There is no proof that Florence Nightingale was a lesbian.

She Never married (although proposed to three times) on the grounds that she wanted to dedicate her life solely to charitable causes and helping others in need.

Her 3 marriage proposals:

# 1844- She turns down a proposal of marriage from her Cousin Henry Nicholson # 1848- She turns down a proposal of marriage from Richard Monckton Miles # 1857 lastly she turns down a proposal of marriage from Thomas Hoades a butcher/farmer from Lea who marries her sister instead Click on the link below for more information about Florence Nightingale:
Hre sexuality was not a matter of remark at the time she worked, and most people would think that it does not matter now.

Was Florance Nightingale a lesbian?

Florence Nightingale's sexual orientation has been the subject of speculation, but there is no definitive evidence to classify her as a lesbian. She had close, intense relationships with women, particularly with her lifelong friend, but these connections might be more accurately described as deep friendships rather than romantic relationships. Nightingale's focus was primarily on her work in nursing and healthcare reform, which often overshadowed her personal life. Ultimately, her legacy is more about her contributions to nursing and public health than her sexual orientation.
