The Historical Case for a Gay Bridgerton

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 place 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.)

Eloise is, of course, the perfect x-factor nature for most situations; her perennial hatred for population and subsequent—even active—detachment from it makes her less vulnerable to the stakes that are in act for the women of Bridgerton. It’s perhaps only natural, then, that when (not if) the illustrate introduces some love stories of the more revolutionary variety, the fifth-eldest Bridgerton sibling is one of
