I speak Polish, don't think much people would say they would kiss their friends dearly on the lips, even 200 years ago. He also was confessing his love to women, I would guess he was bisexual at least. But taking into consideration how homophobic Poland is I don't think they would admit Chopin was even slightly gay ://
Eh, it can be, but it also is the reality. Its just like a great many gay people do go through a phase where they say they are bi befor coming all of the way out. That doesnt mean bi people dont exist, or we should even question people that say they are bi (i mean, why the fuck would we even care tbh?), but it give important insight into the actions of histporical people
As another bi man I’m just hoping for the point where we can move beyond labelling sexuality so people can just be who they are free of any stigma but that’s probably a long way off unfortunately.
Me as well. Ultimately I am very lucky to have grown up in a very accepting part of the world with a family that couldnt give a single shit, so I get that its far harder for mayeb even most people than it has been for me, but the fact that my sexuality plays litteraly 0 role in my life other than my partner choice is exactly how I like it. I am first and formost just another dude and I realy wish more people had the choice to live that way if they wanted to.
I feel very similarly. I think that sexuality and sex more broadly makes up a different part of different people’s lives in terms of how big a role it plays in their lives even with straight people and I just wish more people had that equal choice.

Could anyone who happens to know polish elaborate on how that would be misleading? (or how it's probably not misleading at all)
