No, he/she is not as good as him/her.

Byron was an English Lord who was, probably without warrant, accused of
having an incestuous relationship with his sister, probably with warrant
regarded as bisexual, and a radical revolutionary.  In other words, he
was politically correct before it was politically correct to be
politically correct.

He was also a very great poet, but who the hell cares?
