Great, comprehensive post!

Maybe I have my crabby pants on today (likeLy) but I find the "queer almost-representation" bit to be annoying. I don't think we should give LMM cookies for one tiny line that leaves Hamilton in the textual closet, and once again leaves it up to fans to explore and represent queerness in the life of someone who was very likely actually bisexual.

I'd be interested to hear other opinions.
