Happy Pride Month to all the long-dead historical queer couples, doomed to be forever described by museum plaques as “close friends,” “like siblings,” and my personal favorite, “the nature of their relationship is unclear” 🏺 🌈

@johannamation They're kissing but are probably just pals! We'll never know!
@johannamation my most viral tweet was about this very thing. Rest in peace, my Twitter account.
@johannamation Good friends. The best of friends. Just a couple gal pals paling it up.

@johannamation "Just roommates"

Or like the two Roman freedwomen in the grave stone, holding hands like married couples do, and how it's just "odd" and not "clearly, they were married"

@johannamation looking at photos from my childhood the other day, spotted 2 women at church always described as “close friends”, and gave my adult self a massive facepalm.
@racheljkirkwood They were probably just good pals. Roommates, even! 😇
