There's already been one movie about Turing (BREAKING THE CODE

)
and another one (THE IMITATION GAME) is on the way:

HBO's Angels in America gives you the best Roy Cohn you're going to get.
I want a TV series about Christopher Marlowe's adventures being a spy for Queen Elizabeth, amidst shagging blokes, writing plays and heretical tomes, and his mysterious death. -

Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer.
I don't really know how interesting their lives were, but the photos of them together as a young couple are so beautiful and moving.
Of course a movie could tie in overturning DOMA, but I'd like to learn from the movie how life was for a lesbian couple back when they met. -

Exactly. That info probably won't come out until after he is in the grave. And even then there may be doubters.*
Koch (famous former mayor of New York) never self-identified as gay either.
It's sad how fervently some people want to deny that famous people they admire might have been gay (or bi). Just take Tchaikovsky, or Vladimir Horowitz, for example. -

Actually, with regard to Ralph Nader, I should clarify, since I didn't directly answer your question. I haven't seen any info that definitively says that Nader is gay. That he is gay is just speculation on my part (and I included his name in the list I posted before partly in jest since he's never announced that he is gay).
We might also speculate about certain US Supreme Court justices, who are likely gay (or bi) but have never publicly self-identified as such. I can think of 2 (possibly 3) from recent years. -

Freddie Mercury. I'm so ready for that biopic already.
And I'd like to see more films about LGBT visual artists (Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Francis Bacon, et cetera).
Also, makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin. -

Hillary Clinton who isn't out but still notorious for loving the ladies nonetheless. I'd only be interested in the movie if it explored her relationships with women at Wellesley College and beyond. I don't think I'd be interested in a movie that attempted to cover up her lesbianism.
Barack Obama is another one. Like Hillary, he isn't out, but he is still notorious for his homosexual promiscuity back when he lived in Hawaii and especially later in Chicago. Someone should definitely make an expose about that as well.
And these out celebrities as well to name a few:
Miley Cyrus
Ellen DeGeneres
Scout Durwood
Jodie Foster
Lindsay Lohan
Paula Poundstone
Kristen Stewart
Shailene Woodley
