People in same-sex sexual relationships love to portray past persons' close same-sex relationships
as sexual,and people not hewing to the cultural stereotypes of their biological sex love to portray
past such iconoclasts as properly defined outside the "gender" of that biological sex.

I have read that she was utterly besotted with her unfaithful husband,
which a lesbian would not be.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

The Stuarts look good only in comparison with their predecesors, the
"off-with-their-heads" Tudors, and their successors, the Hanovers,
whom the American Revolution was fought against.  And of course their
interruptors, the Roundheads, who abolished music, sports, theater,
decorations, and Christmas.

It's interesting when gossip intersects with geography.  I live in
Virginia (was Bess really a virgin?), and just over the nearby state
border is Prince George's County, named for Anne's unfaithful husband.
I'd bet that 95% of PG County residents have no idea who their county
is named for.
