Het-Washing

The act of historians intentionally reframing historically queer relationships as platonic friendships in order to 'wash' queer identity from history.

"I was shocked to learn that the two English artist bros who lived together for 50 years as confirmed bachelors, who never married, who shared a bed because their bromance was so strong, who kept up daily written correspondence their entire lives turned out to just be roommates!
