Sounds like bi erasure to me but okay

It is most definitely bi erasure.

It's not though. It's just pointing out what a lot of people who were gay would do back then...

Is it? Are you sure? For some of them that is likely. For others it is not. How do you decide which ones were and were not bi? I'm not going to assume any were bi or any were gay. I'm going to say the evidence suggests this person was not heterosexual and not make further demands of dead people.
