Maybe it's because I've been in and out of the closet for most of the last decade, but mass media has struck me to be both running forward in some ways and running backwards in others. We have more representation but the writers trip over themselves to specify which boxes the characters go into, make it clear that the character isn't one of those bad queers who swish or are stone butch. It's why Sense8 was such a drink of water to see bears kissing in the title sequence, to see Dykes on Bikes and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Bowie choreographed an entire SNL triptych around defying easy categorization. He's in a wasp-waisted tux, he's in business drag, he's a puppet boy. It included a sublime performance of The Man who Sold the World with Klaus Nomi on soprano harmony.

The whole point of RHPS is that Frank (and the other characters) defied rigid categorization. The fandom at the time encouraged participation and individualized interpretation rather than engage in wars over which sexuality label to apply. My experience of RHPS was that it was a safe space where we could cross dress, camp it up, and flirt. Many of us who attended were Questioning, some of us still are.
