defied the societal norms of his time by embracing his homosexuality openly

More like embraced the monarchical norms of "rules for thee but not for me".

I honestly don't think he had an easy time.

More like living his best life. Good for him for being able to. Some people are so suppressed they are never able to fully realize their true selves. Don't hate because one person is able to have something that others are not.

Well what would you have done in his shoes?

Renounced the family and lived in obscurity.
