I love watching old episodes of Supermarket Sweep because these two just said they're "business partners" who "design sets for plays" and I'm like oh I'm sure

Here we are! Just celebrated our 41st anniversary. Married in 2008 on our 25th anniversary as soon as it was legal in California. We ran a business together designing and painting backdrops and sets for 27 years.
I wasn't aware Achilles was gay.
Either way, Achilles mainly communicates a single thing. Fragility. Wouldn't be surprised if the alternative was cooked up by a misandrist who hated the Sappho appropriation.
It’s certainly possible, but Achilles and Patroclus have a lovely story that shouldn’t be dismissed.
I think it mostly came from the same circumstances: this is an obviously romantic relationship, but historians are cagey about whether Achilles feels friendship or admiration for Patroclus. Achilles calls him the feminine form of “beloved” and dies because he violently avenged him.
