He also has a uple unnamed one night stands and often viss Lavenr Hoe, a club that specific to satisfy the needs of homosexual men, who were then forced to hi their sexual orientatn. At the time, eighteenth-century gay characters were maly relegated to foppish portrayals, or they were almost stantly killed off what has been dubbed the “Bury Your Gays” trope. In any se, ’s about time that we had a historil seri whose ma character is gay, and who isn’t a stereotype that we’ve seen a ln tim over.
