if u want receipts i will write it out for you but honestly???? context + historical queer coding in literature + super queer historical and mythological references = a gay ass man
Victor Hugo: *Literally uses all methods used in classical literature to allude to a character being gay when talking about Enjolras*
Some people: Yes but Hugo never wrote him getting railed by a guy in the middle of the Corinth during the barricade scenes so clearly he is a heterosexual.
