#WritingPride Jun. 14 – Have you ever subverted a #queer stereotype, trope, or in-joke?

I'm not versed enough in queer media to tell, does it subvert a stereotype to have a story where a butch lesbian is abused by a fem bisexual woman? I know the story pieces started falling into place for me when I imagined the historical Sossang as butch, but I wasn't consciously bucking or following a trope.

'On bare rock, beneath a big, rough roof-beam, the Holy Family was crammed in with the animals, the Child wriggling on His mother’s knee. Behind the stable, soldiers – dozens of soldiers – were pressing forwards now, one with a crossbow, another with armour and an axe. ...'

in the sun brillianced square

in the sun brillianced square

my saturday shadow had shrunk
down to the small
circle in which i stood

loudly the gander flocks gaggled
and more loudly the merchant throngs
and the throngs of purchasers haggled

i received
free rumours of plagues and of wars
free news of birth and of death

i was offered cabbage and kale
offered turnips and carrots
garlic and leeks beans and peas
spinach and lettuce good king henry
pork lamb poultry

before i bought a loaf
of rye bread for a pfenning or
for a pfenning a pound of cheese

a chemise for a half thaler
or for a whole thaler i was offered
a barrel of peasant wine

before my shadow lengthened
i escaped the sun blinding market
through the door into the black eagle
into the dark dimmed with torches
