Yes, this is an part of research that you are sharing with readers. Thank you. I look forward to this serialized record, so well stitched together. Your text has critical distance but is threaded with respect.
Do we have detailed sources? I don’t care whether TL was gay or not, but a statement as important as this should come with very detailed references, so readers can see the concrete proof.
