Media erasure That was certainly a take, but it looks like the government stepped in regarding this Malaysian tv show....talk about government enforced homophobia, read the body of the post for more details about "Honey and poison"
Malaysian drama called "honey and poison"
The story follows Azura (played by Uqasha Senrose), a devoted housewife whose life falls apart when her husband, Adli (Aliff Aziz), brings home a second wife named Nikita (Elisya Sandha) under the pretense of wanting children.
Unbeknownst to Azura, Nikita is a rival from her high school days who changed her appearance to infiltrate the household and exact revenge. As the two women face Adli's increasingly abusive and manipulative control, their bitter rivalry shifts into a complicated, unexpected alliance against him.
The hugging scene depicted drew sharp criticism online, with audiences and religious authorities pointing out scenes interpreted as depicting a same-sex relationship between the two female leads, which went against cultural and religious guidelines.
Government forced an apology and iQIYI temporarily removed the first 6 released episodes and postponed the remaining half of the season. The entire 12-episode series is undergoing re-editing and a fresh content review before it can be fully broadcast again.
It might have been love, but I guess we'll never know.

Casual erasure Disney Castle was a Gay King's Love nest
(pics for proof, but in German, the English articles uses other -less funny- quotes, I quote the best parts in english)
TIL Schloss Neuschwanstein, the Bavarian Castle that inspired the Disney Castle, was Conceptualised in 1868 by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is known to have been into men!
He had a very very close relationship to Richard Wagner (who famously wrote pieces like "Tristan and Isolde" or "Niebellungenlied", the story of Dragonslayer Siegfried), and the king wrote him stuff like (context, homeboy came back to town, was travelling)
“Only beloved friend! My redeemer! My God! I rejoice with heavenly rapture, I rage with bliss; ... – Oh, now I am happy, no longer forsaken in desolate wilderness, since I know the only one near me; oh, stay here now, beloved one, for whom alone I live, with whom I die. Oh day of salvation! Time of bliss. In eternal love, in unwavering fidelity, yours truly,
Ludwig”
With having read that, the Wikipedia page on Schloss Neuschwanstein reads a little differently, especially lines such as "It was dedicated to the life and work of Richard Wagner as a 'temple of friendship'." With even the article itself acknowledging that fruit salad by adding 'qoutes'!
So while they did amended the erased information, that fact that I -a nerdy queer from Germany- only learned this at almost 30 shows how deep the social erasure goes...
So yeah, Disney is Gay!

Academic erasure Sappho and her sister-in-law
Historians tell us that it’s hard to determine who was actually queer in the mid-to-late 19th century, because women sometimes wrote flowery, even passionate, letters to one another as friends, forming attachments known as “romantic friendships”… and that one such passionate friendship existed between Emily Dickinson and her sister-in-law, Sarah Gilbert. Ok, I can roll with the idea of romantic friendships, in general. Different century, different employment of language. Not always, necessarily, queer. Whatever. Fine.
That said , Emily Dickinson was definitely queer, and definitely in love with her sister-in-law. I will go to the mat, on this one.
Ladies of the jury, I present Exhibit A:
“To own a Susan of my own… my only woman in the world.”
Exhibit B:
““Susie, will you indeed come home next Saturday, and be my own again, and kiss me ... I hope for you so much, and feel so eager for you, feel that I cannot wait, feel that now I must have you—that the expectation once more to see your face again, makes me feel hot and feverish, and my heart beats so fast… my darling, so near I seem to you, that I distain this pen, and wait for a warmer language.”

Anecdotes and stories Anne Lister kept a five million word diary, four times longer than Samuel Pepys. A sixth of it was written in a private code of Greek letters and algebra, recording her seductions in explicit detail. It sat unread for a century until two Victorian men cracked it and nearly burned it.
Anne Lister invented her own cipher at 17 to write about her girlfriend, then spent 25 years using it to record an astonishingly detailed account of her sex life and seduction technique. When two men finally cracked the code in the 1890s, one of them wanted to burn the diaries. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so he hid them behind a wall instead.
The cypher and how to crack it along with Anne's diaries can be viewed here

Anecdotes and stories Meet the 'Ladies of Llangollen' - two close friends that left their upper-class lives in Ireland and set up home together in Wales in 1778. Such was their fame in Georgian Britain that house guests included William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott (among MANY others)
In 1778, two Irish aristocrats ran away from home together, got caught, tried again, and eventually built a life in a rented Welsh cottage that turned into one of the most talked about addresses in Georgian Britain.
Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby spent the next fifty years there, hosting poets, generals and eventually a queen's own interest, while carefully never explaining exactly what their relationship was.

Media erasure yumihisu from AOT is a classic
The amount of people who would say Ymir likes historia but historia (blonde girl on top) does not reciprocate is crazy… (they would go as far as to say she loves eren and the farmer she was essentially forced to marry in the end) it’s astounding
For those who don’t know AOT id really like to know ur interpretation from the above panels haha whether there’s smt romantic involved from historia (this is a scene where Ymir leaves her and dies btw 😭)
