Ironically, during her lifetime the only people who accused Marie Antoinette of being a lesbian were hostile pamphleteers trying to slander her. Also the woman she's apparently making out with, the Madame du Barry, was her bitter enemy IRL. Du Barry was the mistress of Louis XV, Marie's father-in-law; the sexually conservative Marie, herself the daughter of the zealously Catholic Maria Theresa of Austria, considered the former a degenerate and a social upstart, and literally the first thing she did as Queen after her husband ascended to the French throne was have Du Barry exiled from the royal court.

Shocking! You mean they aren’t telling actual history and injecting lgbt “representation” where it doesn’t belong? Sacre bleu!
Seriously this is why I have to check the year on any history I look at. Or any documentary
