Homophobic Historian: THEY WERE STRAIGHT OMFG STOP READING THINGS INTO IT

Gay Historian: SO WHAT IF THEY WERE MARRIED SIX TIMES THEY WERE GAY GAY GAY

Homophobic historian: THEY WERE CONFUSED AND IT WAS JUST A PHASE

Gay Historian: LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY

Gay Historian: GAY
