suggesting on this hellsite that a historical figure might have been bisexual: um sweaty they didn’t use those labels back then so it’s a bit of a stretch to apply them retroactively, also we all know that bisexuality was only invented like ten years ago (if I’m being generous) so yeah, not very likely
suggesting that a historical figure might have been gay or lesbian on this hellsite: yes! you’re absolutely correct! this interpretation of their sexuality is the only correct one and if you disagree you’re a homophobe/lesbophobe and also probably a pedophile
alternative reaction to suggesting that a historical figure might have bisexual on this hellsite: um sweaty are you sure you want to claim them as a historical LGBT+ figure? because I’ve been digging for information on them and found that they did this terrible thing when they were five (they apologized for it, but I’m not going to mention that) so yeah they’re not really a good example of representation for the community since they’re basically hitler if you think about it, sowwy uwu
I know this has to do with Freddie Mercury, but I see this a lot in the Hamilton fandom as well.
fun fact: I had both of them on my mind when I wrote this
I remember one blog that I used to follow a long time ago had a url was that was something like “alexanderhamiltonwasbi” and they were constantly inundated with people complaining that Alexander Hamilton was a less than perfect person so we really shouldn’t be speculating about his sexuality.
Just homophobe/biphobe things: Only people who I 100% agree with can have a valid sexuality. This is not bigoted at all.
Suggesting that a historical figure could have been ace/aro: Uhhh no way any person who didn’t mention their sexuality or just wanted close friends was clearly a closeted gay person and assuming that they were ace/aro based on how they lived thier life is homophobic ace/aro people didn’t even exist back then so checkmate inclusionists
