It's entirely possible, but I think the secret was saying that it's not an automatic assumption you can make every single time because of the social customs of that time period weren't the same as our modern customs.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with that, I'm just saying don't take it too far the other way.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's OP's problem though. They do want historical LBGT, just not at the expense of historical accuracy.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay?

[(Anonymous)]

There may be few canon gay pairings in historical works, but that doesn't mean there isn't deliberate homoerotic subtext in historical works. close relationship doesn't have to mean gay, but it also can, and OP is trying to argue that that's impossible or something because no Victorian author would write deliberate gay subtext

[(Anonymous)]

No amount of closeness should be automatically assumed to be romantic when people are looking for subtext, but the era has nothing to do with it. Close friends exist now just as they did back then.

[(Anonymous)]

No, the secret was saying she didn't like when people interpret same-sex character relationships as gay because vague "historical context" and there's no way anything might be deliberate.

[(Anonymous)]

... except that's not what the secret says, but nice try?

[(Anonymous)]

"It bugs me when people interpret close relationships between two people of the same gender as deliberate subtext" --- OP is bothered when people choose to interpret dynamics as gay because apparently it's impossible for it to be deliberate on the author's part.
