It’s simple math, really: In a family with eight children, it stands to reason, surely one of them must be queer.
Bridgerton has defied other expectations of a Regency-era love story: It is set in an alternate universe where the upper class is fully integrated and race is not an issue. (In the show, Queen Charlotte is played by Guyanese-British actress Golda Rosheuvel, treating some historians’ speculation that Charlotte was Britain’s first Black queen as fact.)

Bridgerton is letting itself and fans down by making Eloise straight
Dearest reader, Bridgerton season three is finally upon us and there’s one happy conclusion I am raring to see: Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) living her top sapphic life.
