As a history major, even a lot of academic papers from 40-50 years ago were stunningly intentionally blind to homosexual subtext. It was never universal, but it definitely was common enough to be worthy of mention. Nowadays most publishings are pretty open about the possibility of someone being homosexual.
Exactly. 40-50 years ago is not a long time and plenty of homophobia then. There was less homophobia a 1000 years ago and right now than there was 50 years ago.
My point wasn’t academic papers either, it was historical records washing away the gay parts. That’s a modern problem, no idea why ppl downvoting my original comment. It’s pretty clear what I was saying
