Prove it!

Al hakam the second of cordoba , Abdurahman the third , Al hisham the second and Al mutacmid were all openly gay and known to have kept male harems full of young boys
Heres an excerpt from the encyclopedia of medieval iberia
Homosexuality was a key symbolic issue throughout the Iberian middle ages.
As was customary every where until the nineteenth century, homosexuality was
not viewed as a congenital disposition or “identity”; the focus was on
non-procreative sexual practices,of which sodomy was the most controversial.
Female homosexual behavior was ignored, and almost nothing is known about
it.
In al-Andalus, homosexual pleasures were much indulged in by the
intellectual and political elite. Evidence includes the behavior of rulers, such as
Abd ar-Rahman III, al-Hakem II, Hisham II, and al-Mutamid, who openly
kept male harems; the memoirs of Badis, last Zirid king of Granada; references
to homosexual prostitutes, who charged higher fees, and had a higher class of
clientele, than did female prostitutes; the repeated criticisms of Christians; and
especially the abundant poetry. Both pederasty and love between adult males
are found. Although homosexual practices were never officially condoned,
prohibitions against them were rarely enforced, and usually there was not even
a pretense of doing so

Caliph al amin was also known to have been fond of male eunuchs
During the same period as Abu Nuwas, there was also another gay Muslim who made history. Caliph Al-Amin, the son of Harun al-Rashid, led the Muslim World despite being openly gay. Muslim historian Al-Tabari wrote that he fell madly in love with one of his male slaves, Kauthar, whom he had named after a river in paradise. Imam Daayiee Abdullah, who is openly gay, says Al-Amin’s mother went to great lengths, including fashioning young women in the harem into men, in order to lure her son from his homosexuality. Of course, she failed.
Here's what i found on wiki concerning Al amins love of feminine eunuchs from Al tabaris history.
The fact that Al-Amin was known to be sexually attracted to male eunuchs was seen by many at the time as a deficit in his character.[1] Al-Tabari notes this fondness for eunuchs. He also records accounts of al-Amin's intense irritation when singers sang songs that were not very auspicious. Al-Amin is described by this historian as being extravagant. It was also reported that his mother arranged for slave women to be dressed in masculine clothing in the hope of inducing him to adopt more conventional morals

Yazid ibn muawiyyah was not only gay but he strayed away from the traditional Arab elite khaniisnimo of being the giver , to becoming a reciever
ibn kathir writes in his revisionist history book al-bidaya wa l-nihaya an interesting speech delievered by Caliph abdul malik bin marwan on page 64, volume 9 that i am not a weak leader like yazeed bin muawiya, who used his slaves to do homosexual acts to himself. he was weak because he was a recepient of sodomy to himself!!!
All the sources of these are from Arab historians Al tabari and ibn kathir , we have now a total of six gay Caliphs

and were not counting the ones in the closet . is this enough proof for you ?.
