Ii always thought LDV was odd and couldn’t recognize what about it was odd because he was brilliant, skilled and contributed to humanity significantly. I knew there was something different about him that just couldn’t put my finger on it. But never got down to analyze it.

This bit you’ve put forward make so much sense. So so much sense. Thank you! You’re brilliant as well for understanding the apparently-not-so-obvious obvious thing we all miss!

Thank you, it’s my own weird headcannon. History is often very good at sweeping queerness under the rug particularly when someone is admired.

I think it’s his fairly deep friendships with women that I wish I knew about. I know that for many of us there’s a sort of external recognition factor of “these are my people” where we best empathize and folks of our birth sex can feel a little alien by comparison. Misogyny can be a fairly limiting factor in self exploration though and the options available to women in his time were generally fairly dismal.
